The latest order has been given to residents in the southern city of Tyre, who have been ordered to flee buildings in the vicinity of a site highlighted for attack on an aerial map of the city, Al Jazeera reports.

“This building was supposed to be targeted yesterday, but it will be targeted soon,” the Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesman said in his fourth post on social media in two hours warning of attacks.

Israeli fighter jets have already launched strikes targeting the Haret Hreik and al-Hadath neighbourhoods in the southern suburbs of Beirut, as well as the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon’s Tyre district, according to reports.

The southern Lebanese areas of Borj El Chmali and Ma’shouq, and the southern villages of Taybeh, Aadshit al-Qusayr village and Deir Siriane were ordered to evacuate earlier today.
