At least 11 people have been killed and several others injured after an Israeli strike flattened a multi-story residential building in central Beirut overnight, Lebanese officials said. Israel has been escalating its attacks on the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah despite ongoing ceasefire efforts.

A residential building in central Beirut has been "completely destroyed" in an Israeli attack that left 23 people injured.

An Israeli air strike in central Beirut killed at least four people early Saturday, bringing down a residential building and jolting residents across the city out of bed as Israel kept up its air campaign against Hezbollah.
