Israel says struck Hezbollah target in Beirut's southern suburbs

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday the military had carried out a strike in Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, while Lebanese state media said a strike hit the Ghobeiry neighborhood, killing one person and woudning four others.

The Israeli military has "just carried out strikes in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut against terrorist targets belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, in response to Hezbollah's firing toward Israeli territory", Netanyahu's office said in a statement. The military said it had "precisely struck" a Hezbollah infrastructure site in Dahiyeh.

The attack apparently comes in response to Hezbollah's launching of three explosive drones at north Israel earlier in the day. Israel had attacked Dahiyeh in the past in response to Hezbollah rockets but this is the first time it responds to drones in this manner during this war.
