Thick plumes of smoke were visible in the sky above the capital’s southern suburbs, indicating ongoing military strikes in the region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that they are targeting Hezbollah locations in several southern suburbs of Beirut. The IDF has advised residents to evacuate certain neighborhoods and buildings in the southern suburbs as a precautionary measure.

According to IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee, the military is preparing to take action against 'dangerous facilities belonging to Hezbollah' in the area. Evacuation orders were issued by the Israeli military through social media posts during the late hours of the night, a time when many residents were likely asleep.
