Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, on Friday shortly after Israel’s military warned residents to leave parts of the area.
The official National News Agency reported an air raid near the Lebanese University and another on the Burj al-Barajneh suburb.
The official news outlet later said the aerial attack had also hit the Al Jamous neighborhood, which it said was not included in the Israeli army’s warning.
Echoes of the attack rang out over Beirut, while thick black smoke blanketed the region, state media reported.
The airstrikes came hours after at least seven people were killed and 46 others were injured in several Israeli raids on Lebanon's southern port city of Tyre, the Health Ministry said Saturday.
The Israeli army did not issue an evacuation warning before the strikes. They hit several locations in Tyre and caused extensive damage, according to Lebanon’s state media.
Following the attacks, the Israeli army said it targeted Hezbollah “intelligence and command and control complexes” that operated in Tyre.
Hezbollah and Israel have been at war since late September, when Israel broadened its focus from fighting Hamas in the Gaza Strip to securing its northern border, even as the Gaza war continues.
