Lebanon death toll revised up to 22, with 100 injuries

Lebanese officials have now raised the death toll from Thursday's Israeli air strikes on central Beirut to 22, with more than 100 wounded. 

The neighbourhoods targeted by Israel were sheltering many who had been forcibly displaced from southern Lebanon. Two residential buildings were struck, with one leveled to the ground.

The apparent intended target of the air strikes, Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa, is alive, Lebanese security sources told the Reuters news agency earlier.
