It's a long term construction project...

Editor's note: ...as the Greater Israel Project (must have been an Abrahamic contract) goes full projection. Kill everyone in the way then move in and that also includes Lebanon. The entire region will be converted to a paradise luxury resort region complete with five star hotels and modern office buildings. Developers are probably already staking out real estate claims and lining up construction projects for new hotels, gambling casinos and resort spas along the Lebanon coast. Leveling entire city blocks with US-manufactured bombs saves on later construction costs. Now all Israel has to do is bring Iran into the equation by killing off the Islamic monotheist leaders and 30 million young Iranians will be enjoying a better future. If you are an aid worker, peace keeper, journalist or are in the region trying to provide assistance you may want to take extra precautions.

Mayor and 15 others killed in Israeli strike on Lebanon council meeting

By Joel Gunter | October 16, 2024

Nabatieh's governor said the number of dead could rise as the rubble was still being searched The UN's special coordinator for Lebanon has criticised Israel after air strikes on municipal buildings in the southern city of Nabatieh killed the mayor and 15 other people.

Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert called the killing of mayor Ahmad Kahil "alarming" and said any violations of international humanitarian law were "completely unacceptable".

At least five of those killed in Wednesday's strike were municipal staff co-ordinating aid for civilians remaining in the area, Nabatiyeh Governor Howaida Turk told the BBC.

Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati condemned the attack, saying it had "intentionally" targeted a council meeting.

The attack was the most significant against a Lebanese state building since the latest escalation in fighting, which began about two weeks ago, and has raised concerns about the safety of the country's state infrastructure.

A spokesman for the Israeli military said its forces had launched raids targeting dozens of Hezbollah targets in the area and destroyed a tunnel used by the Iran-backed group.

"We know that Hezbollah many times takes advantage of civilian facilities," Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon said at a meeting of the UN in New York City on Wednesday.

Turk, the governor, said that while the majority of Nabatieh residents had already left the area following heavy Israeli air strikes, the mayor and other municipal employees had stayed behind to help those who remained.

"This is just like strikes all over Lebanon," she said.

"They [Israel] have hit civilians, Red Cross, civil defence. Now they have targeted a government building. It is unacceptable. It is a massacre."

Previous strikes on Nabatieh over the past few days have destroyed historic buildings, including an Ottoman-era market dating to 1910.

Wednesday's attacks on Nabatieh have raised concerns about the safety of state infrastructure in Lebanon Israel also launched at least one air strike against Beirut on Wednesday.

The strike, which hit the southern suburb of Dahieh, was the first on the Lebanese capital in five days. It came after a reported intervention by the US in which it urged restraint over the bombing of the capital.

Residents of Dahieh had begun to return to the area over the past few days, taking advantage of the apparent pause in bombing to check on their homes and retrieve clothes and other possessions.
