Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Friday called Israel’s strike on two buildings in the Beirut southern suburb of al-Jamous "a dangerous escalation," urging the army chief "to act quickly to... uncover those behind the irresponsible rocket fire that threatens Lebanon's stability" and arrest them.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli airstrike that destroyed two buildings in Dahieh earlier in the day, the first since the latest war with Hezbollah, was “another example” of Israel’s “determination.”

President Joseph Aoun said Friday that he condemns the Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs and any attempt to “bring back the circle of violence” to the country.

Speaking during a news conference in Paris, Aoun said the Lebanese Army is investigating who fired two rockets at north Israel in the morning and “we will not allow anyone to use Lebanon as a launching pad."

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a fresh warning to Lebanon in the wake of an Israeli airstrike on Dahieh earlier in the day.

An Israeli airstrike on Friday targeted the Beirut southern suburb of al-Jamous, destroying two buildings, following an Israeli evacuation warning, the first such raid since a November ceasefire largely halted hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

TV footage showed heavy black smoke billowing from the area, which is densely populated and home to residential buildings and schools.

The Israeli army on Friday told residents in a south Beirut suburb to leave the area around "Hezbollah facilities" immediately, the first such warning since a November ceasefire took hold in Lebanon.

"Anyone located in the building marked in red as shown on the map, and the surrounding buildings... are near Hezbollah facilities... you must immediately evacuate these buildings," military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X that included a map showing the building in the Beirut southern suburb of Saint Therese.

Israel carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon Friday, rattling an already fragile truce that largely ended more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah.

It was the second time rockets had been fired from Lebanon since the November ceasefire, and the second time the Iran-backed Hezbollah denied involvement.

The head of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, noted Thursday that Hezbollah “has firmly committed to the ceasefire” agreement with Israel, “although it knew that the enemy will not abide by it, and despite the Israeli violations that have persisted since the first days.”

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam announced Thursday that he did not support the appointment of Karim Souaid as central bank chief for “a host of reasons,” including “keenness on protecting depositors’ rights and preserving the state’s assets.”

President Joseph Aoun has announced that Hezbollah’s arms will not be removed by force and that normalization with Israel is not currently on the table.
