Lebanese media report that an Israeli strike has hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, as AFP correspondents heard several explosions from the Hezbollah stronghold, which Israel has repeatedly struck since war erupted on March 2.
AFPTV footage showed smoke rising from the area after the raid.
Israel has previously issued sweeping evacuation warnings for the area, but provided no specific warning in advance of today’s strike, which came in the early hours of the morning.
