A city mayor was among 16 people killed by an Israeli bombing that destroyed a council building in south Lebanon, in the biggest attack on an official Lebanese state building since the latest conflict began.
Lebanese officials denounced the attack, which also wounded more than 50 people in Nabatieh, a provincial capital, saying it was proof that Israel’s campaign against the Hezbollah armed group was now shifting to target the Lebanese state.
