Apparent Israeli airstrike hits central Beirut for first time in year of conflict

An apparent Israeli airstrike hit central Beirut early Monday, for the first time in nearly a year of conflict, witnesses said. The strike near the Cola intersection, a major transportation hub, hit a multi-story residential building, according to an Associated Press journalist at the scene. Videos from the scene showed ambulances and a crowd gathered under the building, where the strike appeared to have targeted one apartment.
