US opposes attacks on civilian buildings in Lebanon, in touch with Israel over airstrike

The United States does not want to see civilian buildings destroyed and is in touch with Israel's government over an airstrike that destroyed the municipal headquarters in the southern Lebanon town of Nabatieh on Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.

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