Israeli strike kills mayor and 5 others in southern Lebanese town of Nabatieh

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.

The Israeli military said it struck dozens of Hezbollah infrastructure targets in the Nabatieh area and dismantled what it called "underground infrastructure".

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.
