STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising from buildings in the suburbs of Beirut on Monday night following an explosion.
Earlier the Israeli military issued new instructions warning residents of three buildings in south Beirut to evacuate immediately.
Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes in the Dahiyeh area in recent days, accusing the Hezbollah militant group of hiding weapons in local buildings.
"You are present near assets and warehouses belonging to Hezbollah terrorists, and so the IDF will act against them with force," said a message released by the army on the X platform.
It called on residents to move at least 500 meters (550 yards) from the buildings "for your safety and the safety of your family."
More than 1,000 people were killed in the last two weeks in Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
The sounds of airstrikes were heard throughout Beirut and smoke rose from the capital’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, shortly after Israel ordered residents of three buildings to evacuate.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it had begun a “limited, localized” operation against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
It said it was carrying out “targeted ground raids” in villages close to the Israeli border. The targets, it said, pose an “immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.”
It announced early Tuesday that the operation has been planned in recent months and was launched after approval by political leaders.
