Israel continued its aggression in Lebanon on Wednesday by destroying a building in central Beirut, killing six people. The Lebanese health ministry said that 912 people, including at least 111 children, had been killed since March 2.
More than a million people have been forced to leave their homes, mainly in the south and east of the country and southern Beirut, where Hezbollah’s presence is strongest. But strikes have not been limited to those areas.
The building hit by an Israeli missile is in the Bashoura neighbourhood of Beirut.
The BBC reported that video footage shows a missile hitting the base of the multi-storey building and the structure collapsing.
The strike hit just a few hundred metres from residential buildings and hotels.
According to the BBC, Israel said it was committed to destroying financial structures and institutions linked to Hezbollah, including the Al Qard Al Hassan “bank” which has offices across the city.
