Central Beirut residential building hit by massive Israeli strikes | BBC News

Published

on



A massive Israeli strike has flattened a residential building in centre of the Lebanese capital Beirut. At least 11 people have now been killed and more than 60 injured, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

The eight-storey building was completely destroyed without warning by five missiles in the capital’s densely-populated Basta district, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).

Explosions shook the city following the Israeli attack, which happened at about 04:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Saturday.

The Israeli military made no immediate comment about the Basta strike.

The scale of Saturday’s air strike and the fact it happened without warning indicate that a senior Hezbollah figure could have been the target, although there has been no confirmation from either the armed group or the Israeli military.

Pro-democracy activist sentenced to more prison time just months from release | BBC News

Published

Joshua Wong, once the face of Hong Kong’s democracy movement, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for colluding with foreign forces under the city’s sweeping national security law.

Wong is among hundreds of campaigners and ordinary Hongkongers arrested under the law, which was imposed in 2020 following explosive pro-democracy protests against Beijing’s growing control.

Critics say the far-reaching law has silenced dissent, but authorities argue that it is needed to maintain stability and deny it has weakened the city’s cherished autonomy.

Having already spent the last six years in jail, Wong, who was due to be freed in January, will now spend another decade behind bars.
