The strike hit an apartment in a residential area.

The Israeli military said Wednesday that it had launched a new wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets in the southern Beirut suburbs, vowing to act with "great force" in the area.

U.S. President Donald Trump Wednesday commented on the situation in Lebanon amid the current hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israeli air raids continued Wednesday in southern and eastern Lebanon and south Beirut.

Strikes targeted many regions across Lebanon including Haret Hreik and Hay al-Amerkan in Dahieh, Harabta and Bouday in Bekaa, and the southern towns of Zebqine, Touline, Qabrikha, Shaqra, Majdal Selem, Hanaway, Habboush-Arabsalim, Tayr Harfa and al-Hmairi.
