Two witnesses reported a devastating scene in central Beirut tonight as an entire building collapsed due to an Israeli strike. The witnesses mentioned that the building was housing both residents and recently displaced individuals from various parts of the country.
One witness, Hassan, recounted the moment of impact, stating, 'The bomb hit. And the entire building fell down.' He expressed concern for the many people who were inside the building at the time of the strike.
According to a Lebanese security source, the strike caused a four-story building in Upper Basta to collapse. The aftermath of the incident left many individuals anxiously waiting for news about their loved ones.
Partim, a migrant worker from Bangladesh, shared his worry about his brother and sister who worked as concierges in the building. Despite the chaos, he remained hopeful about their safety.
Meanwhile, at Beirut's Al Nuwairi neighborhood, another strike targeted a building's third floor. Emergency responders, including firetrucks and ambulances, quickly arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Witnesses observed women fleeing the area with bags in hand.
The community came together to support each other during this challenging time, with friends comforting those who were awaiting news about their missing loved ones. Despite the destruction caused by the strikes, there was a sense of resilience and solidarity among the residents of Beirut.
