In an unprecedented move, the IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings to residents of four buildings in central Beirut - the first such warnings targeting the city's central district rather than the southern suburbs.

Footage shows residents in central Beirut fleeing the area following Adraee's warnings and the IDF strikes.

The military action in central Beirut marks a significant expansion of the conflict zone and could signal a new phase in the ongoing regional tensions.
