Smoke continues to rise from the rubble of a building complex in Beirut, two days after an Israeli airstrike killed Hezbollah chief Syed Hassan Nasrallah. The attack, which occurred on Friday, targeted an area greater than a city block, destroying several residential buildings and leaving a huge crater.
On Sunday, devastation was witnessed at the site and people, left in shock and mourning, were seen offering prayers and paying their respects to Nasrallah.
