The IDF says it has begun an “extensive” wave of airstrikes in Beirut.

A short while ago, the military issued evacuation warnings to 20 buildings in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, a Hezbollah stronghold.

Further details on the strikes will be provided later, the IDF adds.

The strikes come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to convene the security cabinet, where ministers are expected to approve a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
