An Israeli airstrike on November 23, 2024, targeted central Beirut, destroying an eight-story residential building.
The attack killed at least 11 people and injured dozens more. Rescue workers are still searching for survivors amidst the rubble. This strike is part of a series of airstrikes on Beirut over the past week, escalating the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The airstrike occurred around 4 a.m. local time, shaking the Lebanese capital and leaving a deep crater at the site. The Israeli military stated that the strikes were intelligence-based and targeted Hezbollah strongholds. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with over 3,500 people killed and more than 15,000 injured in Lebanon.
Diplomatic efforts are underway to broker a ceasefire, with U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein visiting the region to mediate peace talks.
