Shafaq News- Beirut (Updated at 18:10)
Israel on Tuesday struck Beirut’s southern suburbs and multiple areas in southern Lebanon, as Hezbollah carried out cross-border attacks against Israeli military positions.
Lebanese media said a strike targeted a building in Ghobeiri after Israeli forces issued evacuation warnings covering the site and surrounding structures within a 300-meter radius. Authorities closed the Cola Bridge as a precaution, while additional raids struck Bir al-Abed, and a residential apartment in Mansourieh, in the Matn district, alongside low-altitude overflights across Beirut and nearby areas.

The Israeli military claimed in several posts on X that it targeted “Hezbollah infrastructure” in Beirut, adding that its forces killed dozens of fighters over the past 24 hours while targeting observation points and armed cells in the south. It also accused Hezbollah of operating from civilian areas, including villages such as al-Qouzah.
