The Israeli military has called on residents of two areas in the southern Beirut suburb to evacuate because their houses, according to the Israelis, are close to Hezbollah centres.
Israel is continuing its attacks in Lebanon, with about 55 people killed in one day. On Monday, it was about 95.
The number of people killed in the last 12 months now is inching closer to 2,000, which is far more than in the 2006 war when it was 1,200 in 33 days.
Today, there were attacks in the afternoon on two residential buildings just outside the southern suburb close to the centre of Beirut that killed three people.
Everyone here is now anticipating, especially after the Iranian attack on Israel, how this is going to unfold and whether there’s going to be more escalation over the coming hours and days.

The Israeli army’s announcement comes shortly after Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that at least 55 people were killed and 156 others injured in Israeli attacks on the south of the country over the past 24 hours.
