Driver wounded as Israeli strike hits near aid convoy in Bekaa
An Israeli airstrike hit near an aid convoy in Lebanon, wounding a driver and lightly damaging the trucks.
The humanitarian aid, which reached Beirut on Monday, was marked with the flags of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates as well as the Red Cross insignia.
Baalbek-Hermel Gov. Bachir Khodr, who accompanied the convoy, said the airstrike hit as it was passing through northeastern Lebanon. He shared a picture on the social platform X taken from inside a vehicle showing a large cloud of smoke on the road ahead.
It was not clear how badly the driver was wounded.
The Red Cross did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
