An Israeli airstrike rocked southern Beirut on Sunday soon after the military issued an evacuation warning for the Lebanese capital. Footage from Reuters showed a huge plume of smoke rising from the area shortly after 6:00 p.

Israeli jets have struck Beirut’s southern suburbs in the third such attack since a ceasefire began in late November.

Israel said it hit a Hezbollah missile store. The Lebanese presidency urged the US and France to press Israel to cease its attacks.
