At least 6 killed in strike on Lebanese town headquarters
At least six people were killed and 43 injured in an Israeli strike on Nabatieh, Lebanon, which hit the town's municipal headquarters during a meeting, according to Lebanese Minister of the Interior Bassam Mawlawi. The city's mayor was among those killed.
"The targeting of the municipality building in Nabatieh occurred during the coordination of relief work and the preparation of aid for distribution to the residents in the cities and villages of the region who are steadfast in the face of the war they are being subjected to and against Lebanon," Mawlawi said in a statement.
The town's mayor reportedly told Reuters that he would not leave the town after an evacuation notice was issued by Israel for Nabatieh on Oct. 3.
Israel said it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in Nabatieh and dismantled underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including a tunnel network under the town. Israel has not commented on strike whether the took place during the coordination of relief efforts.
