Beirut, Lebanon: Lebanon said an Israeli air strike on the heart of its capital that brought down a residential building and jolted residents across the city on Saturday killed at least 11 people.
The attack in Beirut was followed by others in the city's southern suburbs after calls by the Israeli military to evacuate the area.
Israel has not commented on the strike in central Beirut, while Hezbollah has yet to mention it.
Rescue operations were underway in the area on Saturday morning, with an excavator removing the rubble of the eight-storey building, and a fire truck and civil defence rescuers stationed nearby.
"The strike was so strong it felt like the building was about to fall on our heads," said Samir, 60, who lives in a building facing the one that was destroyed.
