Israel has carried out several air strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, saying it was targeting Hezbollah's drone production. The attack on Thursday night, the eve of Eid Al Adha, one of the most important celebrations in Islam, followed evacuation warnings for several buildings in the area, where Hezbollah is based in the capital.

The Israeli Defence Forces said it had identified a Hezbollah unit producing "thousands" of drones underground, funded by "Iranian terrorists". The attack occurred despite a ceasefire being in effect between Israel and the armed group for the past six months. Lebanon's prime minister said he "strongly condemns" the strikes.
