The Lebanese Red Cross says an Israeli strike has killed a Lebanese army soldier and wounded four paramedics as they were evacuating wounded people from the south.

An earlier version of the AP report on the incident, since corrected, said that the medics were killed in the strike.

It says the convoy near the village of Taybeh, which was accompanied by Lebanese troops, was targeted despite coordinating its movements with UN peacekeepers.

Asked to comment, the IDF says it is looking into the incident.
