Israeli military issues forced displacement orders for southern Beirut
Israel’s military has threatened it will soon attack several buildings in southern Beirut, telling nearby residents to flee immediately.
In a pair of posts on X, Israel’s Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, posted a map with several buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs of Borj El Brajneh and Tahouitet al-Ghadir that he identified as targets.
“For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate these buildings and those adjacent to them immediately,” he warned.
Lebanon to file UNSC complaint over Israel’s targeting of army
Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry says via the country’s state-run news service that it instructed its UN mission to file a complaint with the Security Council.
The complaint, according to a media release, calls on UN member states to condemn “repeated” Israeli attacks on the Lebanese army, which is not currently engaged in any hostilities.
The complaint focuses on the period from November 17 to 24, in which Lebanon says 10 army soldiers were killed and 35 were wounded in Israeli attacks “in the village of Mari, Sarafand, the Burj al-Muluk-Qalaa road, and Amiriya in southern Lebanon”.
These actions constitute a “clear message from Israel rejecting any initiatives for a solution, and its insistence on military escalation instead of diplomacy”, the statement said.
More than 40 Lebanese army personnel have been killed since Hezbollah started exchanging fire with the Israeli army on October 8 of last year.

Israeli forces bomb southern Beirut after evacuation threats
A series of air strikes have slammed into buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs of Borj el-Brajneh and Tahouitet al-Ghadir, shortly after Israel’s military ordered residents to flee.

Two Israeli soldiers ‘severely injured’
The first soldier – a reservist with the 8163rd engineering battalion – was wounded while fighting in central Gaza, according to Israel’s military. The second was injured by a drone fired from Lebanon that fell in the Mount Hermon area, the military said.
They have both been evacuated and hospitalised.
Massive strikes hit residential areas in southern Lebanese town of Hosh
There has been what we can describe as a fire belt on the outskirts of the town of Hosh. Huge mushroom clouds were coming out of the town’s outskirts after several Israeli air strikes hit residential areas.
This is part of the relentless campaign that is still going on. We are expecting more.
Yesterday, there were several air strikes inside the city of Tyre. At least two people were killed in a strike overnight on the main road. There were also three drone attacks that killed at least 10 people, including a soldier in the Lebanese army.
The Israeli army had issued a warning for the people of several neighbourhoods in the city to evacuate. But the attack that took place overnight and killed two people was outside the warning area. That’s causing a lot of chaos for the people.
