A New York Times analysis of verified videos, photos, and satellite imagery shows that at least four residential buildings on one street were destroyed Friday night when Israel struck part of southern Beirut, targeting Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The strikes destroyed nearby vehicles and left craters in the streets about 700 feet away. A video filmed during the strikes and posted on the social media app Telegram showed several distinct smoke plumes.
Three of the buildings were completely flattened, while another collapsed, with the upper floors partly intact. The blasts tore the facades off the lower floors and blew out many of the windows.
Footage recorded on top of the debris of a flattened building also shows significant damage to several surrounding buildings. The extent of the damage from the strikes was not yet clear.
