Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in central Beirut early Wednesday wounded four people.
The strike came without warning and it was not immediately clear who was the target of the attack on the apartment in Beirut’s Aicha Bakkar neighborhood, The Associated Press reported.
The strike was the second in central Beirut in less than a week.
Lebanon’s minister of social affairs Haneen Sayed said the war has displaced 780,000 people in the country so far.
The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Israel also launched military attacks in Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah strongholds.
More than 400 people have been killed across Lebanon in the attacks since early March, according to local authorities.
