Blast heard, smoke seen in southwest Beirut

An Israeli strike early Monday hit an upper floor of an apartment building in the Kola district of Beirut, Reuters witnesses say, in what would be the first Israeli strike within Beirut’s city limits since the escalating hostilities with Hezbollah began earlier this month.

Reuters witnesses heard a bang and saw smoke rise from a hole in the upper floor, which seemed to have been specifically targeted.
