Sky News | #Israel has carried out a strike on #Beirut for the first time since it agreed a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah in November.

The Israeli military says the strike targeted a Hezbollah drone storage facility in Dahiyeh, in the city's southern suburbs, which it called a key Hezbollah stronghold and where support for the militant group is strong.

Euro-Med Human Rights MonitorBeirut: Euro-Med Monitor offers training course for investigative journalists The course aims to strengthen investigative journalists’ skills in covering and reporting
There is a nondescript, rundown complex of concrete buildings in Beirut's Sabra neighborhood, steps beyond the Shatila Palestinian refugee camp. It is one among hundreds of such buildings there, slowly decaying amid piles of garbage and a spiderweb of side streets.

Inside, little cats scurry through dark halls blackened by mold. Water drips from tiny white ceiling stalactites of salt hardened by time. It pools on the floor. In one nook above an ancient stairwell sits, inexplicably, a fully functioning corner-shop fridge shilling juice and Pepsi.

The hallways are said to hold ghosts, too.

They lurk among the living. Hundreds of people, most of them Palestinian refugees, call these four conjoined buildings home, squatting informally in rooms that line the damp hallways.

This was once the Gaza Hospital, a Palestinian Red Crescent-run facility and a former beacon of healthcare for Palestinians and Lebanese alike.

Fifty years since the start of Lebanon's civil war, we revisit one of its haunts.
