Israeli army calls for forced displacement of Beirut residents

After striking southern Beirut earlier today with a massive air raid, the Israeli military is now calling for the forced displacement of the area's residents.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X that people residing in the Hadath and Laylaki neighbourhoods in Beirut should leave their homes immediately and to keep away "for a distance of no less than 500 metres".

"You are located near Hezbollah interests and for your safety and the safety of your loved ones, you must evacuate the buildings," said Adraee.
