The mayor of one of the largest cities in southern Lebanon has been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit the city’s municipal headquarters during a meeting to coordinate aid deliveries to residents and those displaced by war.
The strike, one of a series on Nabatieh on Wednesday morning, killed 16 people and wounded 52, the Lebanese health ministry said. Howaida Turk, the governor of Nabatieh province, said members of the provincial capital’s crisis committee were meeting at the time.
It was the most significant Israeli hit yet on a Lebanese state institution since fighting between Israel and the Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah broke out a year ago, and followed a week of intensifying aerial bombardment across Lebanon.
Holy shit. They are just cartoonishly evil now.
A Lebanese priest, (yes Christian priest), described them hitting a church marked as, and being used as a refuge shelter on NPR. This is the same stuff we fell over ourselves to condemn in Ukraine.

Note how Israel isn’t even at war with Lebanon. They’re ostensibly at war with Hezbollah.
“Lebanon is Hezbollah”. The newest hit single by the IDF known for songs like “UN is Hamas” and “elementary school girl is Hamas”
Don’t forget “Criticism is antisemitism”
Hezbollah
A paramilitary organization that operations openly with the support of Lebanon and her people. Anyone at war with Hezbollah is at war with Lebanon.
Yup the 40 percent of Lebanon that are Christians support and aid the extremist Islamic political movement in their country.
Fuck off.
This is horrible. What was ostensibly the target, the article mentions nothing about that.
The strikes defied what Mikati had told Al Jazeera just a day earlier were assurances given by the US that Israel would reduce its attacks on Beirut.
…Does the US have any credibility left when it comes to assuring others what Israel will do?
Nope. That was gone months ago. All they’ve done for most of a year is repeat whatever Israel says. Even when Israel immediately makes them liars.
This is what they do. They specifically target civilians, civil institutions, journalists, aid workers, aid orgs, and essentially any target that causes suffering amongst the civilian population. Israel is terrorist state, and it’s time they were treated as such.
No you don’t get it, HAMAS was there! They’re in the schools, they’re in the trees, they’re in the dumpster, they’re in the basement and in the garage, they’re in the soil and in the wind, HAMAS is the sun and the moon, they’re everywhere!!! It’s their fault we have to bomb everything! We’ll never be safe until we nuke the entire planet! HAMAS is in me! AHHHH!!!
HAMAS is in me! Title of IDF’s sex tape?
