The Israeli military subsequently ordered residents of the densely populated Hadath neighborhood of Dahiya, an area on the southern edges of Beirut, to evacuate from the vicinity of a building there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Less than two hours later, the Israeli military struck.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli military said it had targeted a site that stored Hezbollah\u2019s drones, but did not explicitly blame the Lebanese militant group for the rocket fire earlier in the day. Hezbollah denied any involvement in the attack on Israel and said it remained committed to the cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But this was the second such exchange of fire in less than a week, prompting fears that the truce between Israel and Hezbollah could unravel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not immediately clear who fired the rockets. But experts say that Hezbollah, which is still struggling to recover from the devastating 14-month conflict with Israel, has little desire to risk reigniting a conflict. Palestinian militant groups such as Hamas maintain a sizable presence in Lebanon, operating mostly from decades-old refugee camps. During the war in Gaza, these groups have intermittently launched rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack ignited the war in Gaza, Hezbollah began firing rockets and drones at Israeli positions in solidarity with its Palestinian ally. After nearly a year of low-level violence, the fighting escalated into full-scale war and an Israeli ground invasion before the two sides <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/26\/world\/middleeast\/cease-fire-israel-hezbollah-lebanon.html\" title=\"\">agreed to a cease-fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It marked Lebanon\u2019s deadliest and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/24\/world\/europe\/lebanon-hezbollah-israel-government-economy.html\" title=\"\">most destructive<\/a> conflict since the country\u2019s 15-year civil war, which ended in 1990.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the truce, Israeli forces have regularly attacked southern and eastern Lebanon. But Dahiya, which is traditionally a bastion of support for Hezbollah, had not been targeted since the cease-fire was agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, Israeli drones began to whir above Beirut and gunfire erupted in the Dahiya as residents attempted to alert neighbors to an imminent Israeli strike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Lebanese authorities ordered all schools in the area to close, and footage circulated on social media of parents rushing to collect screaming children. Students who spoke to The New York Times reported being ordered by teachers to move away from the windows, and said their classmates broke down in fear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The attack sparked a pandemonium reminiscent of the most intense days of the war, when Israeli airstrikes pounded Beirut\u2019s southern outskirts on a near daily basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople are panicking,\u201d said Elie Hachem, the director of the St. Therese hospital, about 600 meters from the targeted building. \u201cI can hear cars honking like crazy outside on the street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The hospital, which had been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/15\/world\/middleeast\/lebanon-hospitals-israel-offensive.html\" title=\"\">badly damaged in the war<\/a>, was left unscathed by the strike, but casualties soon began arriving into the emergency room, said Mr. Hachem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For now, he said, they were just trying to keep everyone calm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Air-raid sirens warning of incoming rocket fire had rung out earlier on Friday in northern Israel, including the city of Kiryat Shmona. The Israeli military later said one of the projectiles was intercepted and another fell inside Lebanese territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lebanon\u2019s prime minister, Nawaf Salam, ordered the security forces on Friday to arrest those responsible for the rocket fire, calling it \u201cirresponsible\u201d and a threat to \u201cLebanon\u2019s stability and security,\u201d according to a statement from his office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Lebanese state is distinct from Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia and political party that wielded enormous influence in Lebanon before the war. The new government has pledged to bring all weapons under the state\u2019s control \u2014 including Hezbollah\u2019s \u2014 but it remains unclear exactly when and how they will do that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid the violence, the U.N. special coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, called for restraint on Friday, warning that a \u201ca return to wider conflict in Lebanon would be devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Hwaida Saad<!-- --> and <!-- -->Dayana Iwaza<!-- --> contributed reporting from Beirut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
