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.

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.

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!!!
