The Israeli army on Monday said it had struck a Hezbollah command center in the downtown Beirut neighborhood of Basta in a deadly air strike at the weekend.
"The IDF (Israeli military) struck a Hezbollah command center," the army told AFP regarding the strike that the Lebanese health ministry said killed 29 people and wounded 67 on Saturday.
The strike hit a residential building in central Beirut's working-class Basta al-Fawqa district.
A Lebanese security source said the strike targeted a senior Hezbollah official, but a lawmaker from the group denied any of its officials were present.
The security official told AFP it was unclear whether the figure was killed.
