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.

MBFC: Biased but not in a consistent way - Credibility: Low - Factual Reporting: They rate business news channels with stock tickers at the bottom and fawning interviews with CEOs as “center left” sometimes and I don’t know what the fuck they even think left and right mean.

don’t know what the fuck they even think left and right mean

When you figure it out please report back and let me know. I think taxation is the the biggest differentiator between left and right anymore, and they dont disagree by all that much. Finally the world can be united in peace and harmony. Trump was rght-- We wont even need elections anymore.
