The Israeli military issued orders in the early hours of Thursday telling people to leave multiple areas of densely-populated southern Beirut, where it says it will hit Hezbollah sites.

“You are located near facilities and interests belonging to Hezbollah, which the army will act against in the near future,” Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on social media site X, naming the Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath Gharb areas.
