The Israeli army’s threat to civilians in Beirut’s southern suburb caused panic and chaos before drones struck a targeted building in Hadath.
Israeli drones fired three missiles at a building in Beirut’s southern suburb, following a warning from the Israeli occupation army instructing residents to evacuate the targeted building, located in the Hadath neighborhood, Al-Jazeera reported on Sunday.
Smoke was reportedly seen rising from the site following the strike.
About an hour earlier, Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee had posted on social media: “Urgent warning to those in the southern suburbs of Beirut, especially the Hadath neighborhood.”
He added, “To everyone in the building marked in red, as shown in the attached map, and the adjacent buildings: you are near Hezbollah facilities.”

“For your safety and the safety of your families, you are required to evacuate immediately and stay at least 300 meters away from the area,” Adraee wrote.
The Lebanese news network Al Mayadeen reported that the threat terrorized civilians and caused traffic congestion in the threatened area, as citizens were trying to evacuate the region.
Earlier this month, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs had killed four people and wounded seven others, in violation of the ceasefire agreement between the two sides.
Although a ceasefire officially came into effect on November 27, 2024, Israel has continued to target southern Lebanon under the claim of attacking Hezbollah sites. So far, Israel has committed more than 1,342 violations, resulting in at least 117 deaths and 362 injuries.

Israel’s military aggression against Lebanon began on October 8, 2023, escalating into a full-scale war on September 23, 2024. The war has left more than 4,000 people dead, injured around 17,000 others, and displaced approximately 1.4 million people.
Despite agreeing to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon by February 18, Israel has failed to fully comply, maintaining control over five major Lebanese hills captured during the war.
Additionally, Israel has begun constructing a border strip that extends one to two kilometers inside Lebanese territory.

Military, Israel was losing when war front opened up north and was doomed to fail again but those holding back the Israelis chickened out when it matter the most simultaneously eroding initial gains and upper hand.
Agreeing to a ceasefire in order to stop Israeli from bombing and threatening whole of Lebanon is not a wise excuse because Israel had not and would never stop bombing residential areas deep into Lebanon.
Perhaps demise of most of their leaders weaken and break those resisting Israeli aggressions at Lebanon_Isreal battle front.
We don’t fight for leaders in Islam but for a just cause, perhaps one of the many reasons Palestinians are still fighting on despite many odds.
And neither do I see the Yemenis stop fighting irrespective of numbers of their leaders that might be eventually assassinated.
Two iron clad supports on display.
US support the oppressor war of genocide against the Palestinians and Yemen support the oppressed resistance war against the oppressor.
At least both US and Yemen, though not being on the same side, are not cowards but they should please spare non combatants civilians.
Only cowards would avoid direct confrontation and resolve to killing non-combatants.
I just don’t like cowards.
The reckless Netanyahu led siege and war on Gaza has changed people perception of Palestinians for better.
For that, we owe Netanyahu and co an appreciation
