The Israeli military has issued new instructions ordering residents of three buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate immediately.

Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes in the Dahiyeh area in recent days, accusing Hezbollah of hiding weapons in local buildings.

“You are present near assets and warehouses belonging to Hezbollah terrorists, and so the IDF will act against them with force,” the army said in a message posted on the social platform X.

It called on residents to move at least 500 meters from the buildings “for your safety and the safety of your family.”

Airstrikes could be heard throughout Beirut and smoke rose from areas in the city's southern suburbs a little more than an hour after the Israeli military issued the evacuation order.
