TEL AVIV: Lebanon’s Health Ministry says the death toll from an Israeli strike near one of Beirut’s main hospitals has climbed to 13, with dozens more wounded.

The airstrike late Monday hit a building facing the main government hospital in the capital. The ministry said Tuesday that 57 other people were wounded in the strike. Footage circulating on social media showed that the strikes hit close to the hospital’s entrance.

Israel says it only targets militants and tries to avoid harming civilians. (AP)
