The Israeli military has announced that it is currently conducting precise strikes in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. The military provided no further details regarding the nature or targets of the strikes.

Reports from the area indicate that a plume of smoke was seen rising from the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, suggesting that the strikes may have targeted that area.

These developments come amidst heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing conflicts and hostilities between Israel and Lebanon. The Israeli military's actions are likely in response to perceived threats or provocations from Lebanese factions.
