BEIRUT (Reuters) – The mayor of the southern Lebanese town of Nabatieh was killed along with five others in an Israeli airstrike, two security sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

Lebanon’s health ministry had earlier reported that five people were killed in the strike on a municipal building. It added that debris removal efforts were still underway.
