The Israeli air force completely destroyed an eight-storey residential building with five missiles on Al-Mamoun Street in the Basta area, leading to at least four deaths and 23 injuries.
This attack marks at least the fourth Israeli strike in a week in central Beirut, fitting a pattern of multiple strikes on densely populated areas with missiles meant to penetrate deeply.
Security sources reported that the blasts shook Beirut at about 4am, with rescue crews still working at the site amid extensive damage to surrounding buildings.
Israeli military operations traditionally focus on the southern suburbs of Beirut, known as Hezbollah's stronghold, but recent strikes have expanded into more central areas.
