Large building in Lebanon's capital destroyed as peace talks continue

In a pre-dawn strike on friday‚ Israeli Defense Forces used a high-precision two-thousand pound bomb to destroy an eleven-story building near Beiruts largest park (the blast created a huge fireball visible across the city)

The attack happened in Tayouneh district while Lebanese decision-makers were looking at a new US-backed peace plan; the timing raised many questions about military operations during diplomatic talks. A washington-post journalist was present at the scene and saw the whole event

The southern parts of Lebanese capital saw more military activity lately as IDF increased its operations in areas where they say Hezbollah fighters and their equipment are located. The building collapsed completely sending thick smoke clouds over nearby residential blocks

The bomb used in this strike had american-made guidance systems which shows continued military-technical cooperation between US and Israel in middle-east operations
