The IDF says it has completed a third wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut’s southern suburbs in the past few hours.
The targets hit by fighter jets in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh included command centers, according to the military.
Before the strikes were carried out, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.

The IDF in recent days appears to have ramped up strikes against Hezbollah in Beirut.
Separately, the IDF says fighter jets struck a cache of rockets and some 15 launchers in southern Lebanon today. Some of the launchers were primed for attacks on Israel, and others were used in previous attacks, the military says.
A launcher used to fire rockets at Tel Aviv on Wednesday was destroyed in one of the strikes, the IDF adds.
