Stepping through the charred ruins of her neighbourhood in central Beirut, Lebanese seamstress Laila Amayrad watched bulldozers pick through a building flattened by an Israeli strike days ago, hoping her friends' bodies would be found.

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

Meanwhile, a drone struck what appeared to be fishing boats in the southern port city of Tyre, according to an Associated Press journalist.
