An Israeli airstrike struck a building in Beirut, breaking months of ceasefire despite no reported injuries.

An Israeli airstrike rocked southern Beirut shortly after the military issued an evacuation warning for the Lebanese capital.

The attack came despite a ceasefire that took effect five months ago, ending open conflict between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group.

According to a joint statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, the strike targeted a Hezbollah facility in Beirut that was storing precision missiles. Hezbollah has not yet commented on the strike.

The Lebanese Civil Defense said it extinguished fires caused by the attack and reported no injuries.

Since the November ceasefire, the Israeli military has conducted several strikes in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah militants and facilities.
