Lebanon has said an Israeli strike on central Beirut’s seafront killed at least seven people earlier today, another attack in the heart of the capital as Hezbollah launched more missiles at Israel, AFP reports.
Local media aired footage showing smoke rising along the seaside road area after the strike in central Beirut, which state-run National News Agency (NNA) said targeted a car.
