Security sources in Lebanon tell Reuters that the Israeli attack targeted an area where top Hezbollah officials are usually based. It was the heaviest attack in Beirut in almost a year of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.
Hezbollah’s al-Manar television reports that four buildings were destroyed and there were many casualties in the multiple strikes. Footage broadcast by al-Manar TV shows at least one smoldering crater at the site of the attack.
