At least four missiles were fired in an airstrike toward Lebanon’s central Beirut early on Saturday, security sources tell Reuters, as Israel pushed on with its intense military campaign against the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

The strike targeted Beirut’s Basta neighborhood, two sources say.

At least one violent explosion was heard rocking Beirut, Reuters witnesses say.
