The strike has so far resulted in at least fatalities and 11 injuries, with the toll expected to rise as rescue teams continue to reach trapped civilians in the damaged structure, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Earlier, an Israeli strike targeted a building in the Bir al-Abed area of the southern suburbs, firing four missiles, none of which exploded, causing seven injuries.
On Friday, the Israeli forces attacked an eight-story residential building, leading to the killings of 51 people and the injuring of dozens. Many are still missing under the rubble.
