The Israeli military carried out at least five air strikes on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut on Nov 12, after the defense chief ruled out any ceasefire in Lebanon until Israel's goals had been met.

Israeli air strikes pound Beirut suburbs

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM -

Smoke rose over Beirut as blasts shook the capital around mid-morning. The explosions followed an Israeli military warning posted on social media identifying 12 sites in the southern suburbs and saying it would take action against them soon. It warned residents they were located near Hezbollah facilities.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the latest strikes. Residents have largely fled the southern suburbs since Israel began bombing the area in September.

In Israel, air raid sirens sounded in parts of the north, sending residents running for shelter, and the military said a number of "suspicious aerial targets" were launched from Lebanon. There were no reports of injuries.
