South Beirut building collapses after Israel strike

A building in Beirut's southern suburbs collapsed in a gigantic cloud of smoke and dust following a strike attributed to Israel, an AFP photographer reported.

A series of images from the strike captures a falling projectile slamming into the lower floors of the building, which erupt in a huge fireball, causing the structure to collapse.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported a "heavy raid carried out by aircraft of the Israeli enemy" in the area of Ghobeiri, near Horsh Beirut, the capital's largest park.
