- Story Text: Lebanese army soldiers cordoned off the site of an Israeli strike in Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday (March 28) as civil defence members worked on clearing the rubble.
Israel's air force conducted a large strike on a building in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital on Friday, a Reuters reporter said, the first heavy bombardment there since a truce deal in November ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel's military said it hit a drone storage facility in the area belonging to Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.
The strike, which was heard across Beirut and produced a large column of black smoke, followed an evacuation order by the Israeli military for the neighborhood and three smaller targeted drone strikes on the building intended as warning shots, security sources told Reuters.
Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh, were pounded last year by Israeli strikes that killed many of the group's top leaders, including its powerful chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a September air attack.
