A massive Israeli airstrike in central Beirut has left four people dead and 23 injured, destroying an eight-story residential building in the Basta neighbourhood. Speculation is rife that the strike targeted newly appointed Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem or senior officer Talal Hamiya. The attack, carried out with five missiles, comes amid heightened tensions following previous strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut and southern Lebanon. Lebanese health authorities confirmed the casualties, while search and rescue operations continue. Israeli authorities have not commented on the strike, fueling rumours surrounding its intended target.
