00:01This dramatic video captured the moment an Israeli strike hit an apartment building in the Bashura neighborhood of central Beirut,
00:09causing it to collapse completely.
00:13We heard it on the news that there was a warning, so we were waiting to see when they would
00:17hit.
00:18My store is really close to it, so we were really scared, and as you see, all the glass is
00:23broken here.
00:27The hit came as part of a wave of strikes on Beirut early on Wednesday morning.
00:32Two other residential apartments were also hit in different neighborhoods.
00:36None of them were in the Hezbollah-controlled south of the city.
00:39Outside of the capital, there were also hits on the south of the country, including around the city of Tyre
00:45and near the coastal city of Sidon.
00:48On social media, the IDF claimed the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure.
00:53After evacuating residents of the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, and in response to firing into Israeli territory,
01:01the IDF began a wave of attacks on infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in southern Lebanon.
01:07The IDF and Hezbollah have been trading tit-for-tat attacks since the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali
01:15Khamenei,
01:15although the Israeli military's offensive has proved much more deadly.
01:19According to Lebanese authorities, more than 900 people have been killed across Lebanon in Israeli attacks.
