The strikes come after a warning was released by the Israeli army on social media, warning residents in the southern suburbs of Beirut that they were residing near a dozen Hezbollah facilities throughout the area, according to Reuters. A series of blasts were also heard across the capital city.

Israel said headway was being made in US-mediated efforts to achieve a cease-fire in Lebanon, but that it still needed guarantees on resuming military operations if there are any infractions by Hezbollah.
