Beirut, Lebanon: Israel pounded central Beirut with a deadly air strike on Thursday while its ground troops in Lebanon were accused of firing on the UN’s peacekeeping headquarters, injuring two of them. The air raid on Beirut, where an AFP journalist heard several loud explosions, was the third such attack on the centre of the Lebanese capital since Israel escalated its campaign last month. “The Israeli enemy’s attacks on the capital Beirut this evening resulted in an updated toll of 22 people killed and 117 others injured,” Lebanon’s health ministry said in a statement. A Lebanese security source, without giving further details, said a “Hezbollah figure” was targeted, after a series of killings of top officials in the Iran-backed movement. AFP live TV footage showed two plumes of smoke billowing in between densely-packed buildings, while there was no immediate comment from Israeli authorities about the nature of the target. Most Israeli strikes have targeted the south Beirut area, not the centre. The attack came on the same day as the UN’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon …
