Strike on Jwaya injures 2 Red Cross paramedics on UN-coordinated mission

The Lebanese Red Cross said two paramedics were wounded in an Israeli strike on Wednesday that hit a south Lebanon village while on a rescue mission coordinated with U.N. peacekeepers.

Two rescuers in the village of Jwaya sustained "light injuries", said a statement posted on social media, adding that the volunteers were dispatched after "coordination with UNIFIL", the U.N. peacekeeping mission, to search for casualties in an earlier Israeli strike on the same area.
