Israel strikes central Beirut
Israeli airstrikes kill at least eleven people says Lebanon's civil defence agency.
Israeli airstrikes have flattened a residential building in the centre of the Lebanese capital Beirut. At least 11 people have been killed and more than 60 injured, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The eight-storey building was completely destroyed without warning in the capital's densely-populated Basta district. We hear from a local resident.
