At least four people were killed this Sunday in an Israeli attack on a hotel on Beirut’s seafront, the first inside the Lebanese capital itself in a six-day air offensive, and in which Israel says it hit commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
The initial impact, which occurred this morning in a room at the Ramada Hotel, caused the death of three people, but a fourth later died from their injuries, reported the Emergency Operations Center at the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
According to the department, ten others were also injured, most of them minor.
The Israeli Army announced, on the other hand, an attack against senior commanders in charge of Lebanon in the so-called Quds Force, part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who are believed to have been the target of this selective bombing in the heart of the capital’s Raouche neighborhood.
This is the first attack within the administrative limits of the capital since last Monday Israel launched an intense bombing campaign, which had already affected the southern suburbs of the city, attacked regularly and on which a massive evacuation order weighs.
