Fighter jets bomb two residential apartments in Beirut's southern suburbs, Lebanese media reports.
The Israeli army launched air strikes on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, despite an ongoing ceasefire.
The strikes targeted two residential apartments in two buildings in the Hawta al-Ghadir area on Sunday, causing several injuries, the state news agency NNA reported.
An Anadolu reporter said Israeli fighter jets bombed the Dahiyeh area without prior warning.
Smoke was seen rising from the targeted area.
In a post on X, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed that the army targeted a Hezbollah infrastructure facility in the area.
A joint statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz claimed the attack was carried out in response to Hezbollah rocket fire into northern Israel on Sunday morning.
Israel’s public broadcaster KAN said Israel informed the United States of the attack before its aircraft bombed the area.
Sunday’s strikes were the first on the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire was extended on June 3 following US-mediated talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has earlier called on the army to launch attacks on the Dahiyeh area.
Israel has continued carrying out air strikes in Lebanon, killing over 3,550 people and wounding more than 10,800 others since March 2.
