00:00Another strike in the capital of Lebanon in Beirut but this time it is not in the

00:06usual area that the Israelis struck which is the Dakhit district of Stonewood

00:10for Hezbollah but in Bashoura, an area that is in the city center limits. I'm

00:15gonna show you what has been struck. You're gonna see this building on top

00:19right now. The destruction of it, the floor that has been completely destroyed,

00:24a number of windows that have been shattered, there is what the Israelis

00:28call this was a precision strike at this building. You guys can see the

00:34debris underneath, everything has fallen down. But what's quite interesting of

00:38this strike, it's as the Israelis have been saying so far the only targeted

00:43Hezbollah positions and members but this center is a medical center. It is a

00:49medical center, it treats people and you can see on the ground here what has

00:54been left by that medical center. What we know so far is that in this medical

00:59center six people have lost their lives and there's been a number of wounded.

01:03There are still doing efforts to recover if anybody else is in there or if there

01:09any other wounded or any other casualties but so far this is what the

01:13scene looks like. It is a health center and is in the city center limits of the

01:20capital of Lebanon in Beirut, a civilian neighborhood.
