Israel strikes Dahieh, warns residents of Bir Hassan building

A strike hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Tuesday, AFPTV's live broadcast showed, after the Israeli military renewed its warning for residents to leave as it attacks the area.

The strike came shortly after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the military would occupy a swathe of southern Lebanon even after the end of the war against the armed group.

Israeli warplanes also broke the sound barrier over Lebanon in Beirut, Sidon and south Lebanon.

Later in the day, the Israeli army warned residents of a building in the densely populated neighborhood of Bir Hassan on the border of Ghobairi to evacuate ahead of a strike. The region is on Dahieh's outskirts and has not been evacuated.
