STORYLINE:
Beirut apartment block targeted overnight Thursday in an Israeli airstrike which killed six people was heavily damaged, as crowds gathered around the site.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry also said seven people were injured in the attack, as governments around the world scrambled to evacuate their citizens from the country.
The airstrike hit near the residential Bashoura district.
The previous death toll had been two with 11 people injured.
Residents reported a sulfur-like smell following the attack, and Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency accused Israel of using internationally banned phosphorous bombs.
There was no warning issued ahead of the strike.
Human rights groups have in the past accused Israel of using white phosphorus incendiary shells on towns and villages in conflict-hit southern Lebanon.
Israeli strikes have killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon over the past two weeks, nearly a quarter of them women and children, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
Israel was pursuing a ground incursion into Lebanon against Hezbollah while conducting strikes in Gaza that killed dozens, including children.
