Israel strikes Beirut southern suburbs after warning: state media

  • “Israeli warplanes launched a raid a short while ago on the southern suburbs,” NNA said

BEIRUT: A strike hit Beirut’s southern suburbs on Tuesday, state media reported, after the Israeli military renewed its warning for people to evacuate the area.
“Israeli warplanes launched a raid a short while ago on the southern suburbs, the first after the warning issued by the enemy,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said.
Footage on AFPTV’s live broadcast showed smoke rising from the southern suburbs, where Hezbollah holds sway, while the Israeli military said it began “striking Hezbollah infrastructure” in the area.
