The death toll from an Israeli strike on a densely populated area in central Beirut on Saturday has reached 29, Lebanon's Health Ministry said on Sunday. Another 67 people were injured, the ministry said,

Saturday’s attack completely demolished a multi-story building in a densely-populated neighborhood. Israel did not say who the strike’s target was.

Israel was targeting a senior Hezbollah commander, but failed to kill him, one Israeli official said. Hezbollah officials said none of the group’s leaders were at the attack site.
