Israel carried out an air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday, after ordering an evacuation of a building that it said was being used by the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah. The attack occurred despite a ceasefire that came into force five months ago which put an end to the conflict between Israel and the military group.

The latest strike adds to strains on the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended last year's conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israeli jets have struck Beirut’s southern suburbs in the third such attack since a ceasefire began in late November.
