Overview

• Israel launched an airstrike on Hadat, a southern suburb of Beirut, targeting a facility reportedly storing Hezbollah precision rockets in violation of agreements.
• Residents were warned to evacuate in Arabic-language messages prior to the attack, which caused significant structural damage but no reported casualties.
• This is the third Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah targets in Beirut since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on November 27, 2024.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and UN Lebanon coordinator Jeanine Hennis condemned the attack, urging guarantor states like the US and France to enforce the truce.
• The ceasefire remains fragile as tensions persist, with Hezbollah's continued rocket activities and Israeli military operations linked to the wider Israel–Hamas conflict.
