A 377ft residential skyscraper is to be built in Beirut, despite recent Israeli strikes on the countrys only airport.

DAMAC Properties said: " Beirut has become a leading destination for business and tourism from around the world. This economic growth and investment will continue in the long term, regardless of short term political issues."

The $150m, 35 storey tower, which will contain 127 apartments is the first of a series planned under La Residence by Ivana Trump (ex-wife of Donald Trump).
