Beirut: A Lebanese man was killed and eight other people were wounded Wednesday morning when an Israeli helicopter struck a vehicle in a village in southern Lebanon, according to a Lebanese security source in Beirut. Among the wounded were students in a school bus traveling behind the targeted car in Al Teyri village, the source said.
