An Israeli airstrike killed at least 11 people in central Beirut and left dozens injured, according to Lebanese authorities.

Israel bombed an eight-story building in Beirut overnight as part of a military escalation directed against the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

The Israeli strike reduced the residential building to rubble and heavily damaged the Basta neighborhood, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.
