Israel struck Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs on Sunday evening (November 24), where intensified bombardment over the last two weeks has coincided with signs of progress in U.S.-led ceasefire talks, Reuters reports.
The Israeli military warned on social media that it planned to target Hezbollah facilities in southern Beirut before strikes that demolished two apartment blocks, according to security sources in Lebanon. Afterwards, the IDF said it had hit command centres "deliberately embedded between civilian buildings".
On Saturday, it had carried out one of its deadliest and most powerful strikes on the centre of Beirut.
Lebanon's health ministry on Sunday raised the death toll from 20 to 29. It said 84 people had been killed in all strikes on Saturday, taking the death toll to 3,754 since October 2023.
The IDF did not comment on Saturday's strike in the capital or say what it had attacked.
Israel went on the offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah in September, pounding the south, the Bekaa Valley and Beirut's southern suburbs with airstrikes after nearly a year of hostilities ignited by the Gaza war.
