"Some went out onto balconies, others went into the street, all looking at the blast site. The second explosion that happened was very big, everyone was wounded because of it. I saw them myself. People falling from balconies, others hit by things from balconies falling on them."
Lebanese officials say security camera footage shows a man wearing an explosives belt rushed at the embassy's outer wall, before blowing himself up.
They say the second explosion was from a car bomb two buildings away.
Medical teams rushed survivors to hospital.
