BEIRUT: Five people were killed in an Israeli air raid on a Hezbollah rescue facility in the heart of Beirut late Wednesday, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
Five people were killed and at least 11 injured in an Israeli raid targeting Bachoura, a district in the center of the capital, according to a source close to Hezbollah.
AFP journalists in Beirut heard a loud explosion and reported some building had shaken in the second strike targeting the capital’s center this week.
