The number of people wounded following a deadly Israeli strike near a hospital on the outskirts of Beirut has risen to 32, Lebanon’s health ministry said on Tuesday.

At least four people, including a child, were killed in the attack outside the Rafik Hariri University Hospital on Monday, the ministry previously said.

The facility is considered to be the largest public hospital in Lebanon.

The strike was not in an area covered by evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military, a CNN analysis found. The military previously said it hit a “Hezbollah terrorist target” in a strike near the hospital, and that the hospital was not targeted.
