Israel bombs central Beirut on Thursday, killing six
Israel bombed central Beirut early on Thursday, killing at least six people, after its forces suffered their deadliest day on the Lebanese front in a year of clashes with Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Israel said it conducted a precise air strike on Beirut. Reuters witnesses reported hearing a massive blast, and a security source said it targeted a building in the central district of Bachoura near parliament, the closest an Israeli strike has come to the centre of Lebanon's capital.
At least six people were killed and seven wounded, Lebanese health officials said.
Three missiles also hit the southern suburb of Dahiyeh, where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed last week, and loud blasts were heard, Lebanese security officials said. The southern suburbs came under more than a dozen Israeli strikes on Wednesday.
The Israel occupation forces urged residents of Lebanese villages who have evacuated their homes not to return until further notice.
