U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin calls Israeli defense minister to reaffirm commitment to Israel 's security.

Israel 's military did not issue a warning for residents prior to the strikes in Beirut and did not comment on the casualties.

The pre-dawn strikes destroyed an eight -story building and left a crater in the ground.

The escalation comes after a U.N. envoy traveled to the region this week in an attempt to broker a cease-fire deal.
