Israel continues to attack Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday, after several days of similar attacks.
Early Sunday morning, the Israeli military called for the evacuation of three different locations in southern Beirut. In the warning, specific buildings were marked on maps as Hezbollah targets. Everyone in the area was asked to stay at least 500 meters from the sites.
Photos from Sunday morning later show smoke over buildings in the area, which were also attacked several times on Saturday.
Later, more attacks came after another warning. According to the state-run Lebanese news agency NNA, a “violent” attack on the suburb of Haret Hreik came after Israel warned of upcoming attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure.
Similar attacks shortly after Israel’s calls for evacuation have occurred almost daily recently. On Saturday, attacks on the area were reported repeatedly and southern Lebanon was bombed in Israeli airstrikes.
On Saturday, a synagogue was hit by a Hezbollah rocket in the Israeli coastal city of Haifa.
