Excerpt:
Israel’s military has killed at least six people in an air attack on central Beirut after suffering losses in fighting with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
The attack on Lebanon’s capital occurred overnight, hitting an apartment building in the residential district of Bashoura, not far from the parliament. Lebanese health officials said a further seven people were wounded.
The attack is the second one on the Lebanese capital this week, with Hezbollah-aligned al-Manar TV station saying the apartment building was linked to the armed group’s health unit.
Reporting from the scene, Al Jazeera’s Laura Khan said the sound of the explosion “reverberated around the buildings and shocked everyone nearby”.
Meanwhile, missiles also hit Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, a densely packed residential area that is also a Hezbollah stronghold and where the group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed last week.
