IDF strikes south Beirut — first Dahiya airstrike since Friday, smoke visible

Israeli forces conducted an airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday March 30, the first since Friday in the area known as Dahiya — Hezbollah's traditional stronghold, now largely deserted after weeks of Israeli warning-and-strike operations. The IDF issued a warning for people to evacuate the area before the strike. AFPTV live footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the southern suburbs. Israel has been conducting frequent attacks against Hezbollah positions in the Dahiya area since early March as part of the Iran-Israel war's Lebanon front. The area has been largely evacuated. No casualties were immediately reported. The resumption of Dahiya strikes after a brief two-day pause signals continued IDF pressure on the Hezbollah urban infrastructure network.
