Several strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday after Israeli evacuation warnings, as seen on AFPTV's live broadcast, as Israel attacked the country following Hezbollah's dawn missile launches.
Plumes of smoke were rising from the targeted area as state media reported four Israeli strikes on the suburbs.
Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Lebanon renewed its call for citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.
"We urge US citizens not to travel to Lebanon. If you are in the country, depart Lebanon NOW," the US embassy said on Monday, as Israeli strikes pounded Beirut's southern suburbs, and dozens of villages mainly in south Lebanon.
"The US Embassy strongly encourages US citizens in Southern Lebanon, near the borders with Syria, in refugee settlements, and in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut to depart those areas immediately," the embassy said.
