Currently, there is no official information on the number of dead or injured as a result of this specific incident, and the Israeli military is refraining from immediate comments.
The current strike is part of a broader military campaign, "Lion's Roar," aimed at destroying Hezbollah infrastructure and Iranian liaison officers. Just a few days ago, on March 8, a similar attack on the Ramada Plaza hotel in the Raouche district resulted in the deaths of four people, among whom, according to the IDF, were high-ranking commanders of the Iranian Quds Force.
Due to intense shelling of Beirut's southern suburbs, hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced to seek refuge in the central areas of the city, significantly complicating the humanitarian situation.
