Israel launches air attack on Beirut

ISRAEL has launched its first attack on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut since a ceasefire ended the latest Israel-Hezbollah war in November.
Following today’s strike, Israel’s army said it had attacked a Hezbollah drone storage facility in the area of Dahiyeh, which it described as a key stronghold of the Shi’ite resistance movement.
Israel had issued a warning for the residential and commercial area to be evacuated. The target was near at least two schools.
