The Israeli military once again called on people in the Beirut suburbs to evacuate. This is usually followed by Israeli attacks. "They are near facilities (...) linked to Hezbollah, which the Israeli army will be targeting in the near future," explained army spokesman Avichai Adraee on Thursday night. He named the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik, Burj al-Baradschne and Hadath Gharb.
Israel is currently carrying out massive airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. Hezbollah opened a second front against Israel with regular rocket attacks from Lebanon immediately after the attack on Israel by the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas on 7 October 2023.
In recent days, Hezbollah shelling has increased further, especially after the killing of long-time Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last Friday.
