Lebanese official media says Israeli strikes on Friday in the southern city of Nabatiyeh killed eight members of the country’s State Security agency.

The state-run National News Agency says, “Enemy warplanes launched a series of heavy strikes” on the city, including one in the vicinity of the Nabatiyeh government building that hit the nearby State Security office, killing at least eight of its personnel.

An AFP photographer saw extensive damage at the site, where a fire was still raging.
