SIDON, Lebanon — UN peacekeepers in Lebanon were wounded today in an Israeli strike near their vehicle at the entrance to the southern city of Sidon, the official National News Agency says.

“Enemy aircraft targeted a car in Sidon near the army checkpoint,” NNA says, adding vehicles from the UNIFIL peacekeeping force were in the “same lane” during the raid, which led to injuries among its members, who were receiving treatment at the scene.
