The Israeli army has issued a new evacuation order for residents in the southern suburbs of Beirut. It called on civilians inside or near four buildings marked on a map to move away from them “immediately” for a distance of no less than 500 metres.
Since Israel drastically stepped up its aerial bombing campaign across Lebanon two weeks ago, it has repeatedly issued similar warnings often leaving little time for civilians to escape. In the past two weeks, conflict-related deaths in Lebanon have increased by more than 200 percent, to 1,699 as of October 3, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Evacuees fleeing Israeli attacks in Lebanon arrive in Brazil
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva received a group of 229 evacuees from Lebanon, according to a Reuters news agency report. The evacuees disembarked the aircraft carrying Brazilian and Lebanese flags, with one man even kneeling on the runway.
“They [Israeli government] are cowards, terrorists, because for them to say that there are bombs and weapons under schools, under hospitals, that is cowardice,” said Rami Rkeim, one of the evacuees, after showing a video of strikes hitting buildings in Lebanon.
President Lula also expressed disapproval of the attacks on Beirut, assuring that such actions from Israel will not deter his government from protecting Brazilian citizens.
