STORYLINE:
Loud blasts rocked Beirut on Wednesday as Israel continued to pound the Lebanese capital.

Heavy smoke plumes could be seen rising above the skyline in the city's southern suburbs.

Meanwhile, Lebanon's Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in central Beirut early Wednesday wounded four people.

It was not immediately clear who was the target of the strike on an apartment in Beirut's Aicha Bakkar neighborhood as it came without prior warning, officials said.

The strike was the second in central Beirut in less than a week.

Lebanon’s minister of social affairs says the war has displaced 780,000 people in the country so far.
