BEIRUT — Israeli warplanes launched at least three airstrikes in Beirut on Friday, according to local media, shortly after the Israeli military issued an evacuation order for a building in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, a known Hezbollah stronghold called Dahiyeh.

No casualties have been reported so far.

The strikes, the first to hit Beirut since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect on Nov. 27, came after two rockets were launched from southern Beirut toward Israeli territory earlier on Friday.
