An Israeli airstrike less than a mile from Lebanon's seat of government in Beirut kills at least nine people and wounds 14 others.

The airstrike in the Bachoura neighborhood was the deadliest so far in the Lebanese capital. The area is close to government and U.N. buildings.

Residents reported a sulfur-like smell following the attack, and Lebanon's state-run National News Agency accused Israel of using internationally banned phosphorous bombs.
