A Lebanese security official said Israel had conducted at least six strikes on south Beirut in the night from Monday to Tuesday, after Israel's army called on residents in the Hezbollah stronghold to evacuate.

"Six or seven Israeli strikes hit the southern Beirut suburbs," the official told AFP, requesting anonymity.

95 people were killed in Israeli strikes across the country on Monday.

"Israeli enemy strikes in the past 24 hours... killed 95 people and injured 172," the health ministry said in a statement.
