“Israel launched a strike on a suburb of southern Beirut on Friday, the first such attack on the Lebanese capital since Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire late last year. Traffic quickly filled the streets of the Hadath neighborhood after Israel’s military issued an evacuation warning, saying it was targeting a building it identified as a Hezbollah facility. … Lebanon’s education ministry issued an emergency order calling on all schools in the area to close. The evacuation warning Friday afternoon followed reports of two projectiles launched from Lebanese territory. One of the projectiles launched toward Israel was intercepted, the other fell in Lebanese territory. Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed armed group and Lebanese political party, denied launching the rockets, according to a statement carried by Lebanon’s state news agency. The statement also said Hezbollah remains committed to the ceasefire agreement.” (03/28/25)
