US does not want civilian sites destroyed in Lebanon, State Department says

WASHINGTON — The United States does not want to see civilian buildings destroyed and is in touch with the government over an airstrike that destroyed the municipal headquarters in the southern Lebanon town of Nabatieh today, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says.

Miller, speaking at a press briefing, says he could not speak to Israel’s intentions with a specific strike, but notes that Hezbollah does at times operate from underneath civilian homes.
