Israeli strike hits apartment north of Beirut: state media

BEIRUT: An Israeli strike hit an apartment in Christian-majority Mansourieh, north of Beirut, on Tuesday, state media reported, in the first attack on the area since the outbreak of the Israel-Hezbollah war.

“An enemy air raid targeted a ground-floor apartment in a building in Mansourieh,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.

The strike came without warning.

Residents of the area heard an explosion and saw black smoke rise from the area, which contains many factories and furnished rental apartments.
