Beirut, November 23 (RHC)-- An eight-storey building was destroyed in an Israeli air strike on Beirut that has killed at least four people and injured more than 30 in the city’s central Basta neighborhood.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that at least four missiles were reportedly fired at the building, and the blasts shook the Lebanese capital at around 4 a.m. local time [02:00 GMT].

Rescue crews and paramedics are still at the site of the attack which marks the fourth Israeli air strike this week targeting a central area of Beirut.

To date, most of Israel’s air strikes on Beirut have targeted the southern suburbs which are known as a stronghold of support for Hezbollah.
