An Israeli soldier was wounded in a roadside ambush in south Lebanon Wednesday, a military spokesman reported Thursday. The incident occurred near the Burj-A-Shamali camp east of Tyre where a group of men pretending to repair a disabled car parked off the road, suddenly opened fire with small arms on a passing group of Israeli soldiers. The assailants escaped in the car.
