Death toll from Israeli strike on Beirut rises to 45

The death toll from an Israeli airstrike targeting Hezbollah military commanders in Beirut's southern suburbs this week has risen to 45, Lebanon's health ministry said.

"The death toll has risen to 45," the ministry said in a statement, updating an earlier report of 37 dead in the attack. It said that "work to clear the wreckage has been going on for the third day" and that DNA samples will be taken to identify some of the bodies. | BGNES, AFP
