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.
