Israeli air strikes target two areas in Beirut

The Israeli air raids we reported on previously struck two areas in Beirut, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency.

The agency reported a "violent enemy strike" targeting a building in Jnah, near the Zahraa Hospital in the Dahiyeh neighbourhood, not far from where thousands of displaced people were sheltering.

The second strike hit a building near the Kuwaiti embassy.

The Israeli military claimed its fighter jets had conducted "a precise strike in Beirut."
