Following a warning by the IDF, the Israeli Air Force struck and destroyed a structure in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

The military said it would target a Hezbollah asset in the area, warning civilians to evacuate at least 300 meters from the site.

According to Lebanese media, several small warning strikes were carried out in the area before fighter jets dropped heavier munitions to destroy the structure.

It marks only the third time the IDF has carried out strikes in Beirut since the ceasefire with Lebanon went into effect in November.
