Update(1750ET): Shortly after Israel’s military issued a video message warning Lebanese civilians in Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate key buildings which are to be targeted, a new IDF bombing campaign over the capital has commenced.

The IDF warned it would begin striking “Hezbollah assets” in southern Beirut in the ‘coming hours’ – according to an earlier Reuters report. The overnight operation has begun, amid widespread reports of loud explosions.

Reuters has claimed in a fresh news wire: Communication lost with Hezbollah’s senior leadership – source close to Hezbollah.
