Israeli strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs after warning
At least three Israeli strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday, hours after the Israeli army issued a warning for residents of the area to evacuate.
Live broadcasts showed clouds of smoke over the southern suburbs, which are considered a Hezbollah stronghold and have not been hit since Friday night.
The strikes came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said attacks against the Lebanese armed group would continue, against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump announcing progress in peace talks with Iran.
"The IDF (Israeli army) has begun striking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut (southern suburbs)," the Israeli military said in a statement.
