Israel orders people to leave swathe of Beirut
Israel has warned residents to leave Beirut's southern suburbs, including Hezbollah-controlled areas, prompting an exodus from a swathe of the capital, which a far-right Israeli minister said would soon resemble parts of Gaza. Suggesting a major escalation looms in Israel's offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah, an Israeli military spokesperson told residents of the southern suburbs to move east and north, posting a map showing four large districts of the capital that he said they must leave. Lebanon was pulled into the war in the Middle East on Monday, when Hezbollah opened fire, sparking Israeli airstrikes focused on the southern suburbs, and on southern and eastern Lebanon.
