The Israeli military announced on Friday that it has launched strikes targeting 'terror infrastructure' located in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Reuters journalists on the ground reported hearing three loud explosions reverberate across the city during the strikes.

Local Lebanese media outlets confirmed that the strikes hit southern suburbs of Beirut, shortly after Israel's military spokesperson had issued an area-wide warning earlier in the day.
