After IDF warning, Lebanese media reports Israeli raid on southern Beirut

Lebanon’s state news agency reports an Israeli raid on southern Beirut, after the IDF issued a fresh evacuation call.

The official National News Agency says shortly after midnight that Israel “targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut.”

The Israeli army earlier urged residents of two neighborhoods in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital to evacuate their homes.

“You are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests, against which the IDF will operate in the near future,” military spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee said in a post on social media platform X.

The evacuation call included maps showing buildings that would be targeted in Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath.

Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
