The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it has launched a “broad wave of attacks” targeting infrastructure linked to the Iran-backed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
In a statement late Thursday, the Israeli military said the strikes were being conducted simultaneously with operations in Beirut, the Lebanese capital.
Earlier, the IDF issued an evacuation warning to residents in Beirut, particularly those living in the Bachura neighbourhood, urging them to leave the area immediately.
No immediate details were available about casualties or damage following the strikes.
