Bij een gerichte Israëlische aanval op een appartement in een hotelgebouw in de Libanese hoofdstad Beiroet zijn in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag minstens vier doden gevallen. Ook zouden er zeker tien gewonden zijn. Dat meldt het Libanese ministerie van Volksgezondheid.
Het gaat om het Ramada Plaza hotel in de wijk Raouche in het centrum van Beiroet. Op X zijn beelden te zien van rookontwikkeling in en rond het hotel.
Het is de eerste dergelijke aanval in het hart van de Libanese hoofdstad sinds de vijandelijkheden tussen Israël en Hezbollah vorige week zijn hervat.
Israël heeft nog geen commentaar gegeven.

Japan has approved ground-breaking stem-cell treatments for Parkinson's and severe heart failure, one of the manufacturers and media reports said Friday, with the therapies expected to reach patients within months.
Pharmaceutical company Sumitomo Pharma said it received the green light for the manufacture and sale of Amchepry, its Parkinson's disease treatment that transplants stem cells into a patient's brain. Japan's health ministry also gave the go-ahead to ReHeart, heart muscle sheets developed by medical startup Cuorips that can help form new blood vessels and restore heart function, media reports said. The treatments could be on the market and rolled out to patients as early as this summer, reports said, citing the health ministry, becoming the world's first commercially available medical products using induced pluripotent stem cells...
In a statement, Sumitomo Pharma said it had obtained "conditional and time-limited approval" for the manufacture and marketing of Amchepry under a system which is reportedly designed to get these products to patients as quickly as possible. The approval is a kind of "provisional license", the Asahi newspaper said, after the safety and efficacy of the treatment was judged based on data from fewer patients than in ordinary clinical trials for drugs.
A trial led by Kyoto University researchers indicated that the company's treatment was safe and successful in improving symptoms. The study involved seven Parkinson's patients aged between 50 and 69, with each receiving a total of either five million or 10 million cells implanted on both sides of the brain... The patients were monitored for two years and no major adverse effects were found, the study said. Four patients showed improvements in symptoms.
The article notes that "Worldwide, about 10 million people have the illness, according to the Parkinson's Foundation," while also notes that today's current therapies "improve symptoms without slowing or halting the disease progression..."
