Israeli air strikes have hit the outskirts of Beirut, the Lebanese capital, for the first time since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah militia.
DPA reporters confirmed on the spot that they could see black smoke after hearing two explosions.
It is not clear whether there were any casualties.
The IDF confirmed the attack on the telegram. “It was not long ago that the IDF attacked a terrifying infrastructure site to store Hezbollah’s air sector (127) in the Dahieh area of Beirut’s huge Hezbollah terrorist stronghold.”
Fighters were seen earlier in the capital and its suburbs.
Hezbollah-run Al-Manar TV reported several limited warning drone strikes before the attack.
The Israeli military has previously warned residents of affected communities on X that they are close to Hezbollah facilities.
There has been a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah since November.
Iran-backed militias have been firing rockets to Israel for more than a year since the beginning of the Gaza War in October 2023 to support the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas. Israel responded with large-scale air strikes and ground offensives.
