Two residential blocks in densely populated area smoulder as centre of Lebanese capital hit.
Israeli air strikes on central Beirut have killed 22 people and wounded at least 117, Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health says.
Videos published by local news channels and verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency show chaotic scenes in the aftermath of Thursday’s air strikes on Ras el-Nabaa and al-Nuweiri in Beirut.
The strikes appear to have hit densely populated residential areas as flames and smoke rose from two residential blocks.
Many residents left their apartments in the high-rise blocks in the area and gathered in courtyards as emergency services rushed to the scene.
