US EditionLebanese bury 13 officers killed by Israel as grief and outrage surge ahead of talks in the US
The strike hit a state security headquarters and deepened anger as Lebanon and Israel prepare for direct talks in Washington.
- On Friday, an Israeli airstrike struck the State Security headquarters in Nabatiyeh, killing 13 Lebanese personnel; the Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure and is investigating reports of harm to security forces.
- The strike hit minutes after 14 officers returned from transferring detainees to Sidon, occurring amid the broader Israel-Hezbollah war that began March 2 when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel.
- Mourners gathered in Sidon on Saturday to bury the 13 officers, with crowds expressing intense grief; student Adam Tarhini, whose father was killed, said, 'We just want protection.'
- Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam postponed his planned Washington trip Saturday, citing the 'current internal situation' and stating, 'This painful loss only strengthens our determination to achieve a ceasefire that will protect Lebanon.'
- The strike deepens domestic tension ahead of planned ceasefire talks, while the United Nations World Food Programme warned Friday that the ongoing offensive is rapidly creating a food security crisis across Lebanon.
