At least two people were killed and 11 more injured in Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahieh, on Sunday, Lebanese state media reported.
The Israeli military said the strikes targeted "a Hezbollah terror infrastructure site" in the group's stronghold in the Lebanese capital.
Lebanon's National News Agency reported that an air strike targeted two apartments in separate buildings near the Mreijeh area, killing at least two people and injuring 11.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz issued a joint statement saying the strikes were ordered in response to projectiles fired from Lebanon towards Israeli territory.
The Israeli army “is now striking terrorist headquarters in the Dahieh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah fire towards Israeli territory”, they said.
Strikes on Beirut have been relatively rare during a flimsy ceasefire in Lebanon. But Mr Netanyahu said last week that Israel was ready to resume attacks on the capital as its military campaign expands.
Earlier in the day, the military said it had intercepted two projectiles that crossed into Israel after sirens sounded in the areas of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali. Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for those projectiles being launched.
Sunday's attack in Dahieh comes despite the April 16 ceasefire, which has failed to end hostilities in southern Lebanon.
Israel says it is continuing operations to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure near its border, while the group has rejected proposals linking a ceasefire to its disarmament, insisting that Israel must first halt its attacks and withdraw from southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military on Sunday urged residents of the southern Lebanese city of Tyre and nearby areas to leave immediately and move north of the Zahrani River, citing operations against Hezbollah.
It accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire agreement and said it was therefore compelled to act forcefully.
Iran, Hezbollah's main backer, has made a ceasefire in Lebanon a condition for any broader agreement with the US.
Israel has continued to conduct strikes in Lebanon despite a US-brokered ceasefire that took effect in November 2024, saying its operations target Hezbollah fighters and military infrastructure.
