Israeli forces launched fresh airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon’s capital during the early morning hours Saturday, military officials confirmed.
Before conducting the strikes, Israeli authorities issued evacuation orders for residents in seven neighborhoods located in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
No casualties were immediately reported following the attacks.
The latest military action comes as Israel has intensified its aerial campaign against Lebanese targets during the third week of ongoing hostilities with the Iran-supported militant organization.
The current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has emerged as the most lethal escalation stemming from the broader U.S.-Israeli confrontation with Iran, beginning when the Lebanese militant faction launched attacks against Israel in solidarity with Tehran on March 2. The violence has resulted in more than 1,000 deaths across Lebanon and forced over one million people from their homes.
