The Lebanese health ministry reports that at least 18 people have died and 92 others have been injured in the strikes in Beirut.

According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll from the strikes in Lebanon’s capital on Thursday has increased to 18, with at least 92 individuals reported injured.

The ministry indicated that these figures are preliminary and urged “the media and social media to refrain from urging people to go to hospitals to donate blood, as this could disrupt rescue and emergency operations.”

A Lebanese security source informed that two Israeli airstrikes targeted central Beirut on Thursday evening, resulting in the destruction of one residential building.
