The Israeli army announced in a post on Telegram that it was directing strikes against Hezbollah targets in the Lebanese capital.
Witnesses from Reuters said they heard an explosion in the southern suburb of Beirut.
Before the attack, the army called on residents of some areas of the southern suburbs of Beirut to evacuate and stay away from it.
Army spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a statement: “An urgent warning to the residents of the southern suburbs, specifically those in the building specified on the map in the Choueifat Al-Amrousieh neighborhood. You are located near Hezbollah installations and interests, against which the army will act in the near future. In order to For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate this.”
The Israeli raids come after a missile attack carried out by Iran on Israel, on Tuesday, in response to the killing of leaders of factions loyal to it in the Middle East, as well as Iranian soldiers, at the hands of Israel.
For days, Israel has been launching violent attacks on various areas of Lebanon, saying that it is targeting Hezbollah strongholds.
On Friday, a violent Israeli strike on the southern suburb of Beirut led to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other leaders in the party.
The Israeli raids on Lebanon led to the deaths of hundreds, and the Lebanese Ministry of Health said in a statement that 55 people were killed and 156 injured in attacks on Tuesday alone across the country.
