The IDF struck a building in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, the military said on Friday afternoon, after two rockets were fired at Israeli territory from Lebanon earlier in the day.
The IDF said the building was used by Hezbollah to store drones and belonged to Hezbollah’s aerial unit 127.
This was the first heavy bombardment since the ceasefire deal between the two countries was signed in November.
Shortly before the strike, IDF spokesperson in Arabic, Col. Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning for a building in the Dahiyeh.
Before the strike in Beirut, the military said it had attacked Hezbollah targets insouthern Lebanon.
Rockets fired at Israel
At 7:50 a.m., rockets sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona, Margaliot, Tel Hai, and Misgav Am.
The military said one rocket was intercepted while the other impacted within Lebanese territory.
Hezbollah denied responsibility for the rocket fire.

Israel’s emergency response service, Magen David Adom (MDA), said it had not received reports of injuries.
“If there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut either,” Defense Minister Israel Katz warned.
He pointed the blame at the Lebanese government, which “bears direct responsibility for any firing toward the Galilee.”
“We will not allow a return to the reality of October 7. We will ensure the security of the residents of the Galilee and respond forcefully to any threat,” he added.
‘Israel must strike Iran’
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett said Israel should strike Iran in response to the rocket fire. “When Hezbollah, Iran’s terror proxy, fires on Israel, Israel must respond in Tehran,” Bennett wrote in a X/Twitter post.
“Only then will Iran understand: you simply don’t fire on the Jewish state.”
