After several days of refraining from targeting the Lebanese capital, Israel carried out early on Wednesday an airstrike in the southern suburb of Beirut, a known stronghold of Hezbollah.

The Israeli army issued a statement acknowledging that its Air Force fighter jets, guided by intelligence operatives, successfully struck a Hezbollah underground weapons storage depot in the area.

The military highlighted that the strike was carried out with precision and caution to avoid civilian casualties.
