Israel Hits Dahieh Again Following Overnight Raids

Israeli fighter jets began striking Beirut’s southern suburbs around midday Wednesday, following a new round of evacuation warnings issued by Israel targeting six locations in Haret Hreik and Ghobeiri.

Television broadcasts showed black smoke rising from the area shortly after a strike, occurring about an hour after Israel’s military urged residents to evacuate, marking the third warning in 24 hours.

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on X that the affected residents were near sites associated with Hezbollah, which the Israeli military plans to target soon.

Airstrikes had already hit the suburbs overnight, with images capturing flames and smoke from the impacted areas. In a further warning on X, Adraee advised residents close to buildings linked to Hezbollah to leave, cautioning that more intense strikes were imminent.

These airstrikes came after an unusual series of daytime raids on the area.
