STORYLINE:
Israeli strikes on Friday hit sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs and near the center of the Lebanese capital, setting off explosions between buildings.
The first strike hit a building in the Burj Barajneh area in Beirut’s southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, and the second flattened a building in the Tayouneh area, a few kilometers (miles) from central Beirut.
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.
After 13 months of war, more than 3,300 people have been killed in Lebanon and more than 14,400 wounded, Lebanon’s Health Ministry says.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah group began firing into Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, in solidarity with Hamas in Gaza. Since then, the fighting has left some 76 people dead in Israel, including 31 soldiers.
