At least three killed and dozens injured by Israeli strikes on Beirut: Report

At least three people were killed and dozens injured by Israeli strikes on Beirut on Monday night local time, a Lebanese security source told Reuters.

Lebanese state media reported earlier that Israeli strikes hit across south Beirut including for the first time in the Ouzai district, shortly after the Israeli army warned residents of several districts to leave.

"An Israeli air strike targeted the Ouzai area. This is the first targeting of the Ouzai district since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon," the National News Agency said.

Lebanese state media also reported strikes on the Haret Hreik neighbourhood, just south of Ouzai, and near Lebanon's largest public hospital.
