Israeli air strikes hit a building less than 500 metres from a BBC reporting team in central Beirut, sending smoke plumes across the area.
The strikes came after the Israel Defense Forces issued a warning that it would target a facility described as belonging to the Hezbollah.
The initial warning was followed by the building being struck, producing a visible grey smoke plume. Subsequent strikes shook the windows of the building where the BBC team was reporting.
No immediate information was available regarding casualties or the extent of damage from the attacks, reports UNB.
