2014 GMT — Official Lebanese media has reported Israeli strikes on south Beirut shortly after ultimatom by Israel's army for residents to evacuate the area — repeatedly bombarded for several consecutive days.

"Enemy warplanes launched two strikes on the southern suburbs, the first targeted the Saint Therese area, and the second targeted the Burj al-Barajneh area," Lebanon's National News Agency said.
