Caption: Israel Strikes Beirut After Evacuation Warning Sparks Panic. Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut after ordering hundreds of thousands of residents to evacuate the southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold. The Israeli military said the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the area as part of its broader campaign against the Iran-backed group. Panic spread across the city as residents fled the evacuation zone, causing massive traffic jams on roads heading north and south. Lebanese officials say more than 120 people have been killed and nearly 700 wounded in Israeli strikes since Monday, with around 90,000 displaced. Israel also ordered residents in large areas of southern Lebanon near the border to evacuate ahead of a possible ground incursion. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem vowed the group would fight Israel “to the furthest limits,” while Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir said the goal is to eliminate the threat posed by the militia. French President Emmanuel Macron called for an immediate halt to hostilities and urged both sides to avoid a wider war in Lebanon.
