As Israeli forces continue their campaign across Lebanon, a missile strike on a Beirut apartment building was documented in real-time by an Associated Press photographer. The dramatic images offer a chilling glimpse into the destructive power of modern warfare and the escalating tension in the region.

AP photos captured the moment a missile launched from an Israeli jet hits a building in the southern Beirut suburb of Ghobeiry on Tuesday, as bystanders then watched the building fall to the ground.
