Israel has been pummeling Hezbollah positions and munitions stockpiles in recent days, and its military said it has struck more than 220 Hezbollah targets. Escalating fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in that time has killed nearly 700 people and forced 90,000 to flee their homes in Lebanon.

The Israeli army warned residents in southern Beirut neighborhoods late Friday to evacuate from 3 buildings it says Hezbollah uses to hide weapons.
