The Lebanese army says one of its soldiers has been killed, and several others injured after an Israeli attack on a checkpoint in the country's south.

It comes as Israel continues a major military incursion in Lebanon, as part of a plan to establish a security zone from the Israeli border, known as the Blue Line, to the Litani River.

Lebanese President Joseph Auon has denounced Israel's campaign - which has included targeting bridges and other civilian infrastructure; describing it as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty.

More than 1,200 people have been killed in Lebanon since the conflict reignited just over a month ago
