The Israeli military has reported carrying out a precise strike on the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut. The strike resulted in a massive explosion that sent clouds of orange and black smoke billowing in the skies over the Lebanese capital. The Israeli army's spokesman announced the strike in a televised address following the incident.
Shortly after the strike, a series of intense Israeli airstrikes hit a heavily-populated southern suburb of Beirut, causing blasts that were heard throughout the city. The target of these airstrikes was not immediately clear, but thick black smoke was seen rising from the area, causing panic among residents.
