BEIRUT (AP) — Israeli airstrikes hit one of Beirut’s densely populated southern suburbs on Friday, after explosions were heard throughout the Lebanese capital.

It was not immediately clear what the target was, but thick, black smoke hung over the area.

The strike occurred an hour after thousands of people attended the funeral of a top Hezbollah commander who was killed the day before.
