Beirut strike ‘so powerful it was felt across the city’

Published

A massive Israeli strike has flattened a residential building in centre of the Lebanese capital Beirut.

The eight-storey structure was completely destroyed without warning, as people were sleeping in the capital’s densely-populated Basta district, the BBC’s Hugo Bachega said.

At least 11 people have been killed and more than 60 injured, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

The Israeli military made no immediate comment about the Basta strike.
