Israeli airstrikes targeted southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, on Friday, following military warnings urging residents to evacuate specific areas. Reports confirmed strikes near the Lebanese University and the Burj el-Barajneh district. Explosions were heard and thick black smoke plumed over affected regions. This escalation is part of ongoing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, worsened since late September, when Israel broadened its military operations beyond Gaza. The Israeli army had previously issued evacuation orders for buildings in proximity to Hezbollah facilities, emphasizing the increased danger amid continuous violence that has claimed over 2,600 lives in Lebanon since late September.
