Israel has conducted at least ten air strikes on southern Beirut, targeting Hezbollah interests and prompting evacuation warnings to residents. Lebanese state media reported extensive damage and smoke in the affected areas. The Israeli army advised civilians to leave specific neighborhoods due to impending strikes on Hezbollah facilities. In addition to Beirut, air strikes were reported in southern cities like Nabatiyeh and Hermel. This escalation follows increased tensions and cross-border exchanges since the Hamas attack on Israel in October, which has contributed to over 3,240 fatalities in Lebanon over recent months.
