Lebanese security source says at least 5 Israeli strikes hit Hezbollah’s Beirut stronghold
A Lebanese security source says that at least five Israeli strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after the IDF twice called for residents in the Hezbollah stronghold, known as Dahiyeh, to clear the areas surrounding specific buildings ahead of imminent strikes.
“At least five Israeli strikes targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs,” the source says, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
AFP correspondents report hearing multiple explosions and saw smoke rising in one area while a fire appeared to burn.
The Israeli military says that it is “currently striking Hezbollah terror targets in Beirut.”
