At least 22 people were killed in central Beirut on Friday in what has been deemed the deadliest Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital so far. The attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, resulted in the collapse of a building where rescue workers scrambled to search for survivors amidst the rubble.
The strikes, attributed to Israel, targeted central Beirut, a bustling area filled with shops, restaurants, and residential buildings. The attack resulted in a significant number of casualties, with at least 22 people dead and dozens more wounded. This marks the deadliest assault on central Beirut in over a year of conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
The devastating strike has sparked outrage and condemnation from Lebanese officials, with the Lebanese government vowing to retaliate against Israel for the attack. Tensions have been escalating in the region, with ongoing violence and airstrikes taking a toll on civilians caught in the crossfire.
The attack has also raised concerns about the escalation of violence and the potential for further civilian casualties in the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to dialogue to prevent further bloodshed.
The aftermath of the deadly attack serves as a stark reminder of the toll that war and conflict can take on innocent civilians. As rescue workers continue to search through the rubble for survivors, the people of Beirut mourn the loss of those who have been killed in this tragic incident.
