Lebanon’s leaders accused Israel of a “flagrant” ceasefire violation by launching strikes against Hezbollah militants in southern Beirut on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
At least three Israeli airstrikes have hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, after the military said it would target what it described as underground Hezbollah drone factories.
Plumes of smoke were seen billowing from the Lebanese capital, shortly after huge numbers of people had fled the area, clogging the roads with traffic.
“The IDF (military) is currently striking terror targets of the Hezbollah aerial unit,” the Israeli military said in a statement on Telegram.
