Local media reports that six people have been injured and also says there is damage to roads.
Hezbollah has said in statement it targeted a military base near Haifa, which is located in northern Israel.
The IDF said in a post on X that its fighter jets had hit the intelligence headquarters of Hezbollah.
They said: “In addition, warplanes have recently attacked the organization’s munitions warehouses in the Beirut area.
“During the attacks, secondary explosions were seen, indicating the presence of weapons.
“The terrorist organization Hezbollah places its headquarters and means of warfare under residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut and endangers the population in the area.”
It comes after a giant fireball erupted from an already burning blaze on Saturday in the same suburb as where Hezbollah’s leader was recently killed.
Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an underground command post in Dahieh last week.
The IDF then pounded the suburb with 80 bombs over just several minutes in the late afternoon destroying the hideaway.
The bunker reached 50m underground and held a number of other senior members of the group.
