Israel staged a new bombing raid on central Beirut, killing five people according to the health ministry, as firefighters said a rocket launched from Lebanon killed one woman in Israel, AFP reports.

Lebanon’s health ministry said five people were killed and 31 wounded in yesterday’s Israeli strike in Zuqaq al-Blat.

A fresh Israeli strike has destroyed a four-storey building in the neighbourhood of Chiyah, wounding multiple people, according to NNA.

In the suburbs of Israel’s commercial capital Tel Aviv, five people were wounded, including one woman in serious condition, after rocket fire hit central Israel, first responders said.
