Israel's deadliest attack yet on Beirut, say Lebanon officials

Lebanese officials say 22 people have been killed
and 117 others injured in lsraeli airstrikes on
central Beirut yesterday evening.
There was no warning issued before the strikes
which hit residential buildings in two densely
packed neighbourhoods in Bachoura -a small
Shia area in the capital.
This is the third time Israel has launched air
strikes on the city outside of the suburb of Dahieh,
where it has struck repeatedly.
Media outlets, quoting security sources, suggest
the apparent target, Wafiq Safa, survived. Safa is
a high-ranking Hezbollah official and close ally
of Hezbollah's former long-term leader Hassan
Nasrallah.
Neither the lsraeli military nor Hezbollah's media
office have commented.
