Overview

  • The Israeli army ordered residents in the Hadath neighborhood of southern Beirut to evacuate at least 300 meters from mapped Hezbollah targets ahead of an airstrike.
  • Israeli jets struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday, marking the third such attack since the November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah.
  • Warning measures included flyovers, gunfire signals, and evacuation maps to minimize civilian harm, as families fled the area in panic.
  • Earlier on Sunday, a separate Israeli drone strike killed a man in the southern Lebanese village of Halta, reportedly targeting a Hezbollah member.
  • The ceasefire, which required Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and Hezbollah's disarmament south of the Litani River, remains under strain as hostilities persist.
