Death toll from Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon’s Nabatieh rises to 6, with 43 injured

The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on a municipality building in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh has risen to six, with 43 injured, according to the Lebanese ministry of health.

Rescue workers continue to remove debris from the attack, the ministry said. The attack also killed the city’s mayor.

Walid Al-Hashash, director of the operations unit of Lebanon’s civil defense force, said a civil defense worker was among those killed in the strikes.

Alexy Nehma, director of emergency medical services at the Lebanese Red Cross, told CNN that responders struggled to reach people in need due to repeated strikes and had to withdraw their team from the area.

Ahmad Kahil, the mayor of Nabatieh, was killed in the strike, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported earlier.
