Israel says began wave of strikes 'across Beirut', warns Zokak al-Blat residents

The Israeli military said it had begun a wave of strikes across Beirut on Thursday, after it warned residents of a central neighborhood of the Lebanese capital it would target a building there.

"The IDF has begun a wave of strikes targeting Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure across Beirut," a military statement said, as AFPTV footage showed a strike hitting the central Beirut building in Bashoura.

The Israeli army later issued an evacuation order for a building in Beirut's Zokak al-Blat.
