Israel has raped the high fire of November several times, attacking the Lebanese capital and the south.
Israel has hit the suburbs of the south of Beirut after issuing an evacuation warning, the third Israeli strike against the Lebanese capital from a high -fire toke effect at the end of November.
A huge plume of smoke rose over the area after Sunday’s strike. There was no immediate word about the victims.
The Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, condemned the air strike and asked France and the United States, the guarantors of the Alto El Fuego on November 27 between Israel and Hezbollah, to force Israel to stop their attacks. Israel has violated that truce several times in recent months and week with attacks against the capital and throughout the south of Lebanon.
Aoun said that Israel is undermining stability in Lebanon and increasing tensions, raising “real security dangers” of the region.
The Israeli army said the attack against Beirut destroyed “an infrastructure where precision missiles” were stored by Hezbollah. He did not provide evidence for his claim. No secondary explosions were reported after the Israeli attack.
Local platforms have published filmed images after bombing. This video has been verified by Al Jazeera:

‘Extended broad damage’
Zeina Khodr de Al Jazeera, informing in Beirut, said: “We could recently get to the site that was attacked, but there was a lot of chaos, and they told us that I went.”
“The damage spread widely, which also affected nearby buildings. The windows were exploited, the glass was on the floor, the cars were damaged,” he added.
“This strike came with a warning but without any provocation,” Khodr said. “This is not the first time that Beirrut’s Southern Suburb Hasb Leg Hit Since Israel and Hezbollah AgreeD To That Ceasefire Back in November, But This Time, There Was No Rocket Fire.

‘Pinging the system’ for intelligence
Elias Hanna, a general retired from the Lebanese army, told Al Jazeera the Israeli attack on Beirut, and the warning that preceded it, can have a leg aimed at gathering intelligence on Hezbollah.
Hanna said such operation is known as “Pinging the System.”
“If you have information about certain people or facilities, send the warning and expect to see how these officials or leaders will respond,” he said. “Will they move from one place to another?”
Hanna added that the operation could confirm or rule out certain information, which would be a “win-win” scenario for intelligence compilation.
Duration The one -year war, the Israeli drones and the combat planes regularly bombard the suburbs of the south of Beirut, where Hezbollah has extended influence and support. Israel murdered several leaders or the main leaders of Hezbollah there, including Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.
The United States has pressed to Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, but Aoun has warned that this is a “delicate” issue that must be handled in a way that preserves peace in the religious country. Hezbollah, who sees himself as the resistance to Israel, says it will not disarm.
