The pace of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut has escalated, with reports indicating continuous bombardment in the Lebanese capital. Earlier in the night, the airstrikes were intermittent, but they have now become more frequent.

The Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for residents of Beirut's southern Dahiyeh suburb. However, the orders left little time for residents to comply before additional strikes commenced. This has caused panic and urgency among the affected population.

Hundreds of families have gathered on the Beirut waterfront in an attempt to escape the ongoing bombardment. The situation remains tense as the airstrikes show no signs of abating.
