Israel not involved in Beirut blast, Israeli official says

Israel has nothing to do with a huge explosion at the Beirut port area on Tuesday, an Israeli official said.

"Israel has nothing to do with the incident," the official said on condition of anonymity. Israel's Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi told Israeli N12 television news that the explosion was most likely an accident caused by a fire.
