Images captured by an Associated Press photographer show what appears to be an 11-story residential building in the Tayouneh area, several kilometers from central Beirut, about to be hit by a bomb in a targeted Israeli airstrike, and then bursting into flames.

There were no immediate reports of casualties but the bomb hit a lower level of the building, turning much of it to rubble.

The Israeli military issued a warning prior to the strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh.
