Lebanon: Ceasefire hopes diminish after latest Israeli attacks on Beirut

Air strikes on the central and southern suburbs of Beirut have killed more than a dozen people. A bombing flattened an eight-storey residential building in the heart of Lebanon’s capital.

“We were woken up early morning by four strong strikes. They were very strong. The building shook,” one resident said.

“We were hoping there would be a ceasefire, but now I think it will drag on. It seems Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to stop.”Jomano Makkie, who fled the southern Beirut area of Dahiyeh, said at least there was a warning given. “In central Beirut, the attacks take place without warning,” she added.
