Watch a live view of smoke rising over Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, on Sunday (6 October) after Israel struck the city. Huge consecutive strikes hit the city’s southern suburbs late Saturday into Sunday with booms heard across the city and flashes of red and white for nearly 30 minutes visible from several kilometres away, according to Reuters eyewitnesses.
