Lebanese state media reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted Beirut's southern suburbs on Wednesday morning, marking the first attack in that area in several days. The bombardment occurred shortly after the Israeli military issued evacuation warnings to residents near a building in the Haret Hreik area of Dahiyeh, known as a Hezbollah stronghold. A live feed from a news agency captured smoke rising from the southern Beirut skyline as a result of the airstrikes.
Recent reports suggested a temporary halt in Israeli strikes on Beirut due to emerging 'understandings' between US and Israeli officials. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a strong statement, vowing to target Hezbollah in Lebanon, including in Beirut, without showing any mercy.
