Lebanese media outlets report an Israeli airstrike in central Beirut, outside of the Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of the capital.

No evacuation warning was given, indicating the strike was an attempted assassination, not the targeting of Hezbollah infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the IDF issues evacuation warnings to some 20 buildings in Dahiyeh, the southern suburbs of Beirut, ahead of airstrikes on Hezbollah assets.
