Eight people were killed and 31 others were injured in an airstrike on Beirut's Ramlet al-Baida seaside resort early Thursday, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health, CNN reports.
Video from Reuters showed parked cars with broken windows, several ambulances and dozens of people gathered on the palm-lined coast after the attack, which happened at 1 a.m. local time, according to the ministry.
The area consists of a sidewalk and a beach crowded with people displaced by Israeli attacks.
Israel launched "a broad wave of attacks targeting terrorist infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah" across Lebanon overnight into Thursday, according to Israel's Arabic-language military spokesman, Avichay Adraee.
The troops found and destroyed dozens of launch sites and eliminated several Hezbollah members who were "planning to launch rockets toward Israeli territory," Adraee said.
He also said Israel carried out attacks on 10 buildings that he said were being used as "terrorist headquarters" in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
