Israeli airstrikes on Saturday killed at least 11 people and injured dozens in central Beirut, as diplomats scrambled to broker a cease-fire. Lebanon’s civil defence said the death toll was provisional as emergency responders were still digging through the rubble looking for survivors.

Relentless Israeli bombardment continues in Gaza, Lebanon, as Hamas says a captive was killed in an Israeli air attack.

The strikes, which destroyed an eight-story building and left a crater in the ground, were the fourth in Beirut in less than a week.
