The Israeli occupation targeted a hangar located in the al-Jamous area of Beirut's southern suburb, in a blatant violation of Lebanese sovereignty.
The targeted warehouse lies at the heart of a densely populated residential and vital area, adjacent to two schools and surrounded by residential buildings.

Warplanes struck the threatened site with three bombs, following three so-called "warning strikes", preliminary strikes with small payload missiles, carried out earlier by drones.
This attack came after the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces issued a threat earlier on Sunday, threatening the residents of the southern suburb to evacuate in preparation for the airstrike on the specified target.
Evacuation threat
In a statement, Adraee called on all individuals residing in or near a building marked in red on a map shared by the occupation forces to evacuate the premises immediately. He claimed that these buildings were "in close proximity to facilities belonging to Hezbollah."
The threat terrorised civilians and caused traffic congestion in the threatened area, as citizens were trying to evacuate the region.
Earlier in the day, one civilian was martyred after being targeted by an Israeli drone in farmland between the towns of Halta and Wadi Khansa in southern Lebanon.
The aggression marks yet another flagrant breach of Lebanon's sovereignty as the "Israeli" regime continues its hostile operations across the southern regions.
Repeat attacks on Hadath
In late March, the Israeli occupation forces bombed and destroyed a building they had similarly threatened earlier in the southern suburb of Beirut.
The building that was destroyed is situated next to two schools, as the bombs were dropped during a school day in a usually crowded area, during rush hour in the holy month of Ramadan.
Simultaneously, the occupation launched a wave of heavy airstrikes across southern Lebanon.
