Israeli forces carried out at least two airstrikes on the southern Beirut suburb of Haret Hreik on Saturday, according to the Lebanese news agency NNA.

An Israeli military spokesman had previously called on the residents of Haret Hreik to flee the area.

Haret Hreik is part of Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, which have historically been a stronghold of the Shiite Hezbollah militia.

Israel last attacked the neighbourhood three days ago. Many of the residents of the densely populated residential area have already fled from Israeli strikes.
