STORYLINE:
An Israeli airstrike levelled a building in the southern Beirut suburb of Ghobeiry on Tuesday.

The strike came 40 minutes after Israeli military Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a warning, claiming the two buildings targeted contained “Hezbollah facilities.”

The building stood in a heavily trafficked area across the street from a large park, which has become a refuge for many displaced families.

It is also not far from the French ambassador’s residence in Lebanon.

No immediate casualties were reported.

At the time of the warning, Hezbollah’s chief spokesperson was holding a pre-scheduled press conference just a few hundred meters from the targeted area.

The event was quickly cut short, with journalists and the spokesperson evacuating the location.

The Israeli military did not have immediate comment about the target of the strike.
