Israeli army orders people in Beirut to flee southern suburb

The Israeli military has issued new orders for residents of Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh to flee immediately in advance of an imminent attack, Al Jazeera reports.

Residents in the Haret Hreik and nearby Hadath neighbourhoods were told to flee from the vicinity of at least two buildings, which were highlighted in red on an aerial map disseminated by the military.

The military said people must flee at least 500 metres (1,640 ft) from the buildings targeted for attack, and which they described as “Hezbollah facilities and interests”.
