Israeli warplanes raided the Ghobeiry area in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday morning, shortly after the Israeli army spokesman issued a warning to evacuate several buildings in the area.

The official Lebanese National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone carried out two raids on the Ghobeiry area, and a “very violent” raid near the Ghobeiry municipality headquarters, destroying a building.

Lebanese television channels reported columns of thick smoke rising from the raid sites in Ghobeiry.
