BEIRUT (AP) 鈥� An Israeli airstrike late Monday struck a densely populated residential area in Lebanon's capital close to the U.N. headquarters, Parliament, the prime minister鈥檚 office and several embassies.
Lebanon鈥檚 state-run National 撸奶社区 Agency said two missiles hit the area of Zoqaq al-Blat neighborhood of Beirut. The strike comes following reports that the U.S. envoy has delayed his visit for ceasefire talks.
Ambulance sirens echoed through the area, but no official casualty figures have been released. A reporter with The Associated Press at the scene described significant casualties on the street. The target of the airstrike remains unclear, and the Israeli army did not issue a prior warning.
