A Lebanese woman who was seriously wounded during Israel’s offensive in southern Lebanon was being rushed to an Israeli hospital for treatment today, the hospital said.

Dr Shapira Kalin at Ziv Hospital in Safed, a town in northern Israel, said the Lebanese woman was expected to arrive at the hospital in an Israeli ambulance soon.

It was not immediately clear where or when the woman had been hurt in fighting now underway between Israeli forces and Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon.
