STORYLINE:
Israeli airstrikes on Thursday hit sites in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, setting off explosions between buildings in the area known as Dahiyeh.
Israel said it was targeting "Hezbollah facilities and interests" after issuing evacuation warnings prior to the airstrikes.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Israel has also been striking deeper inside Lebanon since September as it escalates the war against Hezbollah.
Israel forces invaded south Lebanon on Oct. 1, causing widespread destruction in border villages but making little advances on the ground inside the country.
Israeli forces and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have been clashing since Oct. 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began launching rockets across the border in support of its ally, Hamas, in Gaza.
The conflict escalated beginning in mid-September.
Israel has launched a widespread aerial bombardment of Lebanon and a ground invasion that it said is intended to push Hezbollah back from the border.
