Deadly Israeli strike near Hariri Hospital in Beirut: The day after in images

The strike occurred without any prior evacuation order. The toll is heavy: Thirteen people, including one child, were killed, and 57 others were injured, seven of whom are in critical condition.

During the night from Monday to Tuesday, while the Arabic-speaking spokesperson repeatedly called for evacuations in anticipation of strikes on various locations in Beirut’s southern suburbs and Hadath, a violent strike hit the Jnah neighborhood unexpectedly. Just a few dozen meters away from the Rafic Hariri Hospital, the largest public hospital in the country, several buildings were obliterated.

On Tuesday morning, rescuers were still searching through the rubble of the buildings. An AFP photographer reported hearing phones ringing beneath the shattered concrete blocks. Our photographer, Mohammad Yassine, witnessed rescuers retrieving the body of a man, killed in the strike.

Here are Mohammad Yassine’s images.
