An Israeli strike on Beirut killed at least three people on Tuesday, Lebanon’s health ministry said after Israel announced its second strike on the country’s capital in a fragile four-month truce.
Israel’s military said it “targeted a Hezbollah terrorist” just days after striking the city in response to rocket fire from Lebanon which it blamed on the militant group.
The raid in Hezbollah’s Dahieh stronghold left “three martyrs and seven wounded” according to a Lebanese health ministry toll, quoted by Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The top two floors of a multi-storey building were destroyed by the strike, an Agence France-Presse photographer at the scene said, while panicked residents poured out of their homes.

The photographer saw at least three wounded people being helped by rescuers and debris covering a street.
