Beirut, Lebanon: Israeli airstrikes in and around Beirut caused significant damage to the country's largest public hospital and killed more than a dozen people, Lebanese health officials said, as Hezbollah retaliated with rocket attacks into central Israel hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region.
Lebanon's Health Ministry said that 57 others were wounded in airstrikes late Monday that destroyed several buildings facing the Rafik Hariri University Hospital, located on the outskirts of southern Beirut.
The Israeli military said it struck a Hezbollah target, without elaborating.
The State Department said Blinken would focus on ending the war in Gaza.
