An Israeli strike on the municipal headquarters in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh killed the mayor and five others, officials said. The attack was among 11 strikes on Nabatiyeh city and its surroundings that created “a kind of belt of fire” in the area, reports said. The strikes sent a thick plume of smoke billowing over houses, palm trees and the blue-tipped minaret of a mosque in the city. Nabatiyeh’s governor, Howaida Turk, described the incident as a massacre, confirming that tmayor was among those killed. Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it targeted an Israeli army tank near a border village with a guided missile on October 16.
