8:13Now PlayingIsrael's prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital, Beirut, as its conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah escalates.
Benjamin Netanyahu said "terror targets" in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh would be struck in response to its rocket and drone attacks on Israeli civilians.
Israel’s pledge to step up its strikes in Lebanon came hours after the US president Donald Trump had declared that “all shooting will stop” between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump made the announcement after Iran said it had pulled other of peace talks with the US, in protest at Israel’s offensive in Lebanon
The conflict poses a major obstacle to the US president’s efforts to reach a deal to end its war with Iran. Tehran is insisting that any ceasefire must include Lebanon.
The Israeli military ordered residents of Dahieh to evacuate for their own safety, without giving further details.
Families, crammed into cars stuffed with suitcases, blankets and whatever belongings they could carry, streamed out of Beirut’s suburbs, joining thousands fleeing towards the mountains as fears of further violence mounted.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jon Sudworth, James Landale and Sarah Smith.
