Israeli airstrikes hit the southern suburbs of Beirut on Saturday, Lebanese state media said, shortly after Israel ordered residents to evacuate, marking the first attacks in three days on Hezbollah’s main stronghold. The day has been intense as a drone targeted Israeli prime minister’s house. Catherine Norris Trent, senior reporter in Beirut, also talks about the thousands of civilians fleeing their homes because of the strikes, and trying to find shelters.
