Israel Strikes Apartment Building in Central Beirut, Lebanese State Media Say

March 11 (Reuters) – Israeli ⁠strikes ⁠targeted an ⁠apartment building in central ​Beirut on Wednesday, Lebanese state ‌media said, marking the ‌second strike ⁠in ⁠the city in recent days.

There was no ​immediate comment from the Israeli military and no immediate ​reports of casualties.

A previous strike in ⁠Beirut ⁠killed five members ⁠of ​Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on ​Sunday.

Lebanon was ⁠drawn deeper into the regional conflict after Iran-backed Hezbollah opened fire ⁠on Israel, saying it was retaliating for the ⁠killing of Iran’s supreme leader.

Israel has since carried out air strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon and in Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing nearly 500 people, ⁠including more than 80 children, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
