Israeli strikes pound Beirut following expulsion orders

A series of Israeli strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs late Friday, Lebanese state media reported.

Lebanon's official National News Agency said that an "enemy aircraft" carried out at least eight strikes on southern Beirut area, a Hezbollah stronghold, targeting districts including Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh and Laylaki.

The Israeli army had earlier told residents of two neighbourhoods in the area to leave immediately.
