An Israeli air strike hit a densely-populated neighborhood in the heart of Beirut Sunday evening, killing one person and wounding nine others, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Schools in Beirut were closed on Monday after Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital killed six people including Hezbollah's spokesman, the latest in a string of top militant targets slain in the war.

Mohammed Afif, the head of Hezbollah's media relations, was killed in an Israeli bombing in central Beirut on Sunday.
