Beirut city center lies in ruins after the first Israeli attack in 18 years

Watch live from Beirut on Monday, September 30, as an Israeli attack in the city center leaves a residential building in ruins for the first time since 2006.

This feed shows a residential building hit by an airstrike in the Kola district.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the attack brings the death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon over the past two weeks to over 1,000 people and the number of injured to over 6,000.

The head of Lebanon’s civil protection agency said the number of displaced people in the country rose from 300,000 to almost a million in just a few hours over the weekend.

The attack stoked fears that fighting in the Middle East could spiral out of control and draw the United States.

Hamas said an Israeli strike killed its leader in Lebanon on Monday, while another Palestinian militant group said three of its leaders were killed in an attack in Beirut.
