The Israeli army on Wednesday renewed its warning to Lebanese residents to evacuate two neighborhoods of Beirut's southern suburbs ahead of airstrikes.
On US social media company X, Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation order for the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik and Burj al-Barajneh.
"You must leave immediately and move east toward the Damascus highway," he added.
Adraee attached a map indicating the targeted areas, saying the Israeli army "will operate in the coming hours in the areas of Haret Hreik and Burj al-Barajneh and within the complex located south of the Damascus highway as marked on the map."
Since Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, so far killing more than 1,200 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hostilities have escalated.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries that are home to US military assets.
