Four Israeli soldiers were wounded by a land mine today while searching for terrorists near Rehan village in south Lebanon.
A military spokesman said the search was mounted after an explosive charge detonated at a roadside as an Israeli patrol passed by. The explosion caused no injuries but the search party sustained four casualties when one of the soldiers stepped on a mine. The search yielded five other explosive devices which were safely defused.
A hand grenade thrown at an Israel army patrol in Sidon today caused no casualties.
