LEBANESE authorities said that at least 20 people were killed and 14 wounded by a late night Israeli strike on an apartment building in the town of Barja.

Lebanon’s Civil Defence service said that the death toll could still rise as many are reported to still be missing.

Many are thought to still be trapped under the rubble following the Tuesday night air strike, which came without warning.
