At least two people have been killed after a strike hit an apartment in the Ramada hotel building in central Beirut, the first such attack to hit the heart of the Lebanese capital since hostilities resumed between Israel and Hezbollah last week, a Lebanese security source says.

No further details are immediately available. There is no immediate comment from Israel.

Video from the scene appears to show a pinpoint strike.
