The Israeli military launched Sunday a series of new airstrikes on Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, with smoke seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
A joint statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed "terrorist targets" were attacked in Dahiya.
Dahiya refers to the densely populated southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital Beirut, which are considered a stronghold of the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement.
The statement said the strikes were a "reaction to Hezbollah's attack on Israeli territory."
The Israeli military also confirmed the attacks.
