An Israeli strike has destroyed a building in central Beirut, as missiles continue to hit areas far from where the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group has its strongest presence.
A BBC team was jolted awake around 05:00 (03:00 GMT) by the sound of the blast. The Israeli military had issued a warning at 04:00 to evacuate the building and nearby areas, saying it was a facility affiliated with Hezbollah that Israel would target.
There are no known casualties so far from the strike near downtown businesses and hotels.
War started in Lebanon on 2 March when Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel to support Iran in the ongoing regional conflict. Israel responded with bombing and then troops entering Lebanon's south.
The Lebanese health ministry says that 912 people, including at least 111 children, have been killed since 2 March.
