The Lebanese health ministry says at least 18 people, including four children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike near Lebanon’s largest public hospital in southern Beirut.
Another 60 people were injured when at least three buildings about 50m (160ft) from Rafik Hariri University hospital were destroyed in the Jnah neighbourhood on Monday night.
The health ministry said the attack – one of at least 13 reported across the capital – caused “significant damage” to the hospital.
The Israeli military said it hit a "Hezbollah terrorist target" near the hospital, without giving details, and insisted that the hospital was not targeted or its operation affected.
