An entire residential building was leveled in a deadly Israeli strike on central Beirut Thursday, according to a Lebanese security source. The strike targeted a senior Hezbollah official in a densely populated neighborhood, resulting in at least 22 people killed and 117 wounded, as reported by Lebanon's health ministry.
Israel has not publicly claimed responsibility for the strikes or confirmed the specific targets. The attacks focused on parts of central Beirut, far from Hezbollah's stronghold in the city's southern suburbs. Witnesses and a Lebanese security source confirmed that a multi-story building in the upper Baste neighborhood, housing residents and displaced individuals, collapsed after being hit by a bomb.
