Strikes hit Hezbollah stronghold in south Beirut following Israeli evacuation warnings

BEIRUT — AFP footage shows at least two strikes hitting south Beirut early Thursday morning, about an hour after the Israeli army called for residents of four districts of the Hezbollah bastion to evacuate.

AFP footage shows two plumes of smoke rising above south Beirut, with AFP journalists in the Lebanese capital hearing loud bangs. Earlier, Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee urged residents of four south Beirut neighborhoods to evacuate, including from a location near Beirut’s international airport.
