Lebanese officials say 22 people have been killed and 117 wounded in Israeli strikes on two densely packed neighbourhoods in central Beirut.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) previously described the neighbourhoods as Hezbollah-affiliated, but has not yet commented on tonight’s strikes, according to BBC.

Meanwhile, the UN is warning of a humanitarian law breach after two peacekeepers were injured when an Israeli tank fired on a watchtower at a UN base in southern Lebanon.

Israeli forces have “repeatedly hit” UN positions the last 24 hours, including “deliberately” firing at security cameras, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) says.
