An AFP journalist saw black smoke billowing between buildings in the capital's Haret Hreik area following two strikes, which hit shortly after an Israeli military order for residents to leave.
The Israeli military has in recent weeks carried out strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs without advance warnings, or issued a warning for one area while striking more broadly.
Israel has resumed air strikes on Beirut despite objections from the United States over the way it is conducting its campaign in Lebanon.
Dahiyeh, considered a stronghold of the Iran-backed, U.S. and Israeli-designated terrorist group, has been hit by Israeli missiles previously, but the strikes Tuesday night were the first in five days.
