Twenty killed in Israeli strike on Lebanese town of Barja

An Israeli air strike targeting a residential building in a town south of Beirut on Tuesday killed at least 20 people, Lebanon's health ministry said.

"The raid by the Israeli enemy on Barja left 20 dead," the ministry said, referring to the coastal town around 20 kilometres south of the capital, adding that rescue operations were underway.

It was the second Israeli strike on Tuesday in a region outside the strongholds of Hezbollah.
