The Israeli military widened its attacks to the districts in the center of the Lebanese capital, destroying buildings, forcing residents to flee and killing at least 10.
Israeli calls for the evacuation of huge swaths of southern Lebanon have led 830,000 people, about 14 percent of Lebanon’s population, to flee.
