Eight buildings and the Imman Hussein mosque were flattened to the ground in the Roueiss neighbourhood in the Shiite-dominated suburbs. Flames were still emanating from one of the collapsed buildings which left heaps of cement blocks covering the ground.
No word about the baby ducks. | Thick clouds of smoke rose above the area targeted by the Israeli strikes.
