An Israeli airstrike hits central Beirut for the first time in nearly a year of conflict
The first apparent Israeli airstrike on central Beirut in nearly a year of conflict leveled an apartment building early Monday, hours after Israel hit targets across Lebanon and killed dozens of people as Hezbollah sustained heavy blows to its command structure.
The airstrike hit a multistory residential building. Videos showed ambulances and a crowd gathered near the building in a mainly Sunni district with a busy thoroughfare lined with shops.
The airstrike killed at least one person and wounded 16, said an official with Lebanese Civil Defence.
