Stepping through the charred ruins of her neighbourhood in central Beirut, Lebanese seamstress Laila Amayrad watched bulldozers pick through a building flattened by an Israeli strike days ago, hoping her friends' bodies would be found.

Israel's military once again bombed buildings near the Lebanese capital Beirut on Sunday, a day after one of its strikes on a densely populated area in central Beirut killed at least 29 people, according to the latest tally from Lebanon's Health Ministry.

Saturday’s attack completely demolished a multistory building in a densely populated neighborhood. Israel did not say who the strike’s target was.
