STORYLINE:
Blasts rang out in Beirut Thursday morning as Israel continued its airstrikes on the southern suburbs.

The Israeli military on Wednesday struck several sites in the area.

Israel said it was targeting "Hezbollah facilities and interests" after issuing evacuation warnings prior to the airstrikes.

Israeli forces and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have been clashing since Oct. 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began launching rockets across the border in support of its ally, Hamas, in Gaza.

The conflict escalated beginning in mid-September. Israel has launched a widespread aerial bombardment of Lebanon and a ground invasion that it said is intended to push Hezbollah back from the border.
