The IDF says it carried out an airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut a short while ago.
According to media reports in Lebanon, the strike took place in the Dahiyeh suburb, a known Hezbollah stronghold.
The military says there are no changes to guidelines for civilians at this stage, and it will provide further details on the “targeted strike” soon.
It marks only the third time that the IDF has carried out airstrikes in Beirut since the beginning of the war.
In July, an Israeli airstrike in Beirut killed Hezbollah’s military chief Fuad Shukr, and before that in January, Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an IAF strike in the Lebanese capital.
