Israel has launched its first strikes on Beirut since the November ceasefire, targeting areas near schools. The IDF issued evacuation warnings before the attacks, claiming retaliation for rocket fire from Lebanon. Hezbollah, denying responsibility for the strikes, accused Israel of using false pretenses to escalate conflict. Following the escalation, the French President condemned the actions as "unjustified." In related incidents, Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon reportedly killed multiple individuals identified as Hezbollah members, indicating a return to heightened military actions after a year of relative calm between the two parties.
The IDF warned residents to evacuate parts of a Beirut suburb prior to their strikes, emphasizing their intent to retaliate for attacks allegedly launched from Lebanon.
Hezbollah denied any involvement in the rocket fire and condemned Israel's escalation, alleging that the Israeli military seeks to renew attacks under false pretexts.
