Israel has carried out a strike in the Lebanese capital that it says has killed senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
Footage posted on social media, including a video filmed by BBC Persian’s Nafiseh Kohnavard, shows smoke rising above the Lebanese capital and damage to a block of flats.Emergency services are on the scene as crowds gathered outside.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati has criticised “blatant Israeli aggression” against the city but Israel says Shukr was the target of an “intelligence-based elimination” by fighter jets in the Beirut area.
