Earlier, Israel hit southern Beirut in the first attack on the Lebanese capital since a truce brokered by the US last week.
Two air strikes on two apartment buildings in a stronghold of Iran-backed Hezbollah killed two people and injured at least 20, including women and children, Lebanon’s health ministry said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had struck “terrorist headquarters in the Dahieh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah’s firing at Israeli territory”. Hezbollah has since confirmed it fired at Israeli military positions.
Following that attack on Beirut, the IDF said it was “preparing for potential fire” towards Israel in the coming hours.
In the past few minutes, Iran has confirmed it fired missiles at Israel.
