Hezbollah confirmed on Sunday that top military commander Ali Karaki and a senior cleric, Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, had also been killed in the Israeli air strikes.<\/p>\n
“We need to keep hitting Hezbollah hard,” Israel’s military chief of staff Herzi Halevi said.<\/p>\n
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Mikati said the air strikes had forced people to flee from Beirut and other parts of the country, including the southern border areas.<\/p>\n
The local authorities are struggling to assist everyone in need, with shelters and hospitals under growing pressure, BBC correspondents in Lebanon report.<\/p>\n
Aya Ayoub, aged 25, told the BBC she had to flee her house in Beirut\u2019s southern Tahweetet al-Ghadir suburb with her family of six as it was too dangerous to stay.<\/p>\n
Around her house, she said, “all the buildings are completely destroyed”, and she was currently staying with another 16 people in a house in Beirut.<\/p>\n
“We left on Friday and had no place to go. We stayed until 02:00 in the streets until a group of people helped us get into a residential building that was under construction. We are living on candles at night, and have to get water and food from outside\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sara Tohmaz, a 34-year-old journalist, told the BBC she had left her house near Beirut with her mother and two siblings last Friday.<\/p>\n
It took them almost 10 hours to reach Jordan through Syria by car, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we are lucky enough to have a place to stay in Jordan, where my mother\u2019s relatives are based. We don\u2019t know what will happen next, and don\u2019t know when we will be back,” Tohmaz added.<\/p>\n
The previously sporadic cross-border fighting escalated on 8 October 2023 – the day after the unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas gunmen from the Gaza Strip – when Hezbollah fired at Israeli positions, in solidarity with the Palestinians.<\/p>\n
Since then hundreds of people, including many Hezbollah fighters, have been killed, while tens of thousands have also been displaced on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
