A series of Israeli strikes hit Beirut's southern suburbs late Friday, Lebanese state media reported, as AFPTV footage showed smoke rising from the area after Israel's army issued an evacuation call.

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