Lebanese officials condemn Israel for killing town council member

Lebanese municipalities on Saturday condemned the killing of Yassine Hussein by the Israeli military, calling it a criminal act. 

Hussein was a member of the town council in the border village of Hula and was targeted by an Israeli air strike in the Bint Jbeil district earlier today. 

“We condemn this criminal act that will only add to the perseverance and persistence of our people,” the town of Rab Thalathin said in a statement.
