UN observer injured in Lebanon fighting
2006-07-24
TYRE, Lebanon - A UN military observer was seriously wounded on Sunday in a border village in southern Lebanon, apparently by Hezbollah fire during a clash with the Israeli army, a UN spokesman said.

“One unarmed UN military observer was seriously wounded by small arm fire inside a UN position in Marun Al Ras,” Milos Strugar said in a statement. “He has been evacuated to the nearest hospital in Israel,” he said. “According to primary report, the fire came from Hezbollah during an exchange of fire” with the Israeli army.”

There was no word on his nationality.
