“The IDF (******* Defence Forces) conducted a targeted strike in Beirut. At this moment, there are no changes in the Home Front Command defensive guidelines,” the ******** military said, providing no further details.

Footage of the targeted area broadcast by Lebanon’s al-Jadeed showed burnt out cars and a street strewn with rubble.

Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV said the southern suburbs, known as the Dahiyeh, had been subjected to an act of aggression and reported that one person had been ******* and 14 wounded, saying this was a preliminary toll.

Ignited by the war in the Gaza Strip, the Hezbollah-******* conflict has intensified significantly this week, with the Iranian-backed group suffering an unprecedented ******* in which pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members exploded, ******** 37 people and wounding thousands.

On Thursday night, the ******** military carried out its most intensive air strikes in southern Lebanon since the conflict erupted almost a year ago.
