At least six people died and 15 others were injured when Israeli jets struck a building to the south of Beirut in the early hours of Wednesday, eyewitnesses reported. Images showed that several floors of the building in the Aley district were severely damaged in the pre-dawn bombing raid.

Lebanese state media reported on Wednesday a third wave of Israeli raids on Hezbollah's south Beirut bastion in 24 hours, after the health ministry said another strike south of the capital killed six people.
