Footage by the Agence France-Presse news agency showed large plumes of smoke rising around south Beirut’s skyline on Monday night as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued evacuation orders for parts of the Lebanese capital’s southern suburbs.
The IDF’s evacuation warnings were posted online and included maps highlighting specific buildings in several evacuation zones. One of the IDF posts read, 'You are located near Hezbollah facilities and interests that the IDF will act against in the near future.'
