An Israeli strike smashed into a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut causing a huge explosion after a warning was issued by the Israeli military on X. The strike comes as cease-fire negotiations continue between Israel and Lebanon.

Stepping through the charred ruins of her neighbourhood in central Beirut, Lebanese seamstress Laila Amayrad watched bulldozers pick through a building flattened by an Israeli strike days ago, hoping her friends' bodies would be found.

At least 11 people have been killed and several others injured after an Israeli strike flattened a multi-story residential building in central Beirut overnight, Lebanese officials said.
