The Israeli ‌military said early on Saturday it ⁠was striking Hezbollah targets in Beirut, after issuing ‌an evacuation warning for ‌seven neighborhoods ‌in ⁠the southern suburbs of ⁠the Lebanese capital.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Israel ‌has been stepping up airstrikes against Lebanon in the ‌third week of its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah.

The ⁠Hezbollah-Israel conflict has become the deadliest spillover ‌of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran since the Lebanese militant group fired at ‌Israel in support of Tehran on March 2, with more ⁠than 1,000 people killed ⁠in Lebanon and over ‌1 million displaced.
