Hundreds of people in south Lebanon fled the deadliest Israeli bombardment in nearly a year of cross-border clashes between Hezbollah and Israel, a local official said.
Bilal Kachmar, an official at the disaster management unit in Tyre, said "hundreds of displaced people rushed to" a school-turned-shelter in the southern city, with many others "camping out in the streets".
AFP correspondents in the south saw rows of cars leaving nearby Sidon.
For its par, Hamas on Monday condemned Israeli strikes on south Lebanon.
"We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, affirm that this wide-scale barbaric aggression is a war crime," Hamas said in a statement.
It also said that the group reaffirmed "our solidarity... with our brothers in Hezbollah and the brotherly Lebanese people".
