Renewed Israeli strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs on Monday, state media reported and AFPTV images showed, after an Israeli army evacuation warning and heavy raids on the Hezbollah bastion the previous night.

The official National News Agency reported “three strikes on the vicinity of Haret Hreik”, as AFPTV images showed heavy smoke rising from the southern suburbs.

Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee on social media platform X had earlier said the military would target Hezbollah “facilities and interests” in the southern suburbs, pinpointing several locations.

The Israeli military later said the air force “conducted intelligence-based strikes on several Hezbollah command centres” in the southern suburbs.
