At least one civilian, a woman, was killed and sixty-eight others were wounded in an Israeli aggression on Haret Hreik, in the Southern Suburb of Beirut, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported.

Among the injured, five are in critical condition, while the rest of the injuries range between moderate and minor, the Ministry added.

An Israeli strike targeted a residential building in the Southern Suburb of Beirut on Tuesday evening, destroying a substantial section of the structure. 

The strike comes after continuous threats by Israeli occupation officials of a substantial aggression on Lebanon, since Saturday. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the strike targeted the Southern Suburb of Beirut, where at least one explosion was heard.

In detail, our correspondent said that the strike targeted a residential building in Haret Hreik, resulting in the collapse of a substantial section of the structure. 

"Israel" has been threatening a strike against Lebanon after falsely accusing the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah of launching an attack on the Israeli-occupied Syrian town of Majdal Shams.

The Israeli occupation forces spokesperson said the military targeted a commander responsible for the alleged Majdal Shams strike. He added that there is "no change in the directives of the Home Front Command," which are a set of directives issued to settlers in times of war. 

Israeli media outlets also said that the military's command declared a state of alert, instructing settlers in settlements near the Lebanese-Palestinian border to remain in shelters. 

Furthermore, ongoing preparation and a heightened state of alert in the Israeli anti-air systems were recorded, amid the possibility of a response from Hezbollah, Israeli media outlets reported.

Rare strike on Southern Suburb of Beirut to be met with harsh response

Strikes on the Southern Suburb of Beirut have been largely avoided by Israeli authorities, due to the deterrence equation imposed by the Resistance and its repeated warnings and threats against such an escalation. 

The last time an Israeli strike targeted the Suburb was on January 2, 2024, which killed the top Hamas official in Lebanon, martyr Saleh al-Arouri, and others. 

Hezbollah responded to the aggression with wide-ranging strikes on Israeli military targets, attacking the Meron Air Traffic Control Base for the first time.
