Lebanon says Israeli strikes hit Beirut suburbs, country’s south

BEIRUT: An Israeli airstrike on Monday hit the southern suburbs of Beirut, where Israel’s army said it was targeting Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, as Lebanon reported more attacks in the country’s south. AFPTV footage showed smoke billowing across the skyline after the strike on the southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold which has largely emptied of residents following repeated Israeli attacks and evacuation warnings. Israel’s army said it was “striking Hezbollah terror targets in Beirut,” after previously warning it would hit the area.
