Israeli forces carried out fresh airstrikes on southern Beirut in the early hours of Wednesday, March 11, 2026, according to Lebanon’s official news agency ANI. The Israeli military confirmed it had resumed targeting infrastructure linked to Hezbollah — the Iran-backed Lebanese armed group with deep roots in the area.
ANI described the operation as a ‘massive raid’ against the southern suburbs of Beirut, a district long considered a Hezbollah stronghold. Footage from Agence France-Presse (AFP) showed thick plumes of smoke rising from multiple struck locations.
In a Telegram statement, the Israel Defense Forces said it launched aerial strikes against Hezbollah facilities in southern Beirut — part of a broader campaign that also included strikes inside Iran.
