Two waves of Israeli strikes hit the Hezbollah-controlled Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut overnight into Thursday, with Lebanese authorities reporting at least six people killed and 15 others wounded in the attacks. The Israel Defense Forces had called for residents to evacuate hours before the strikes.

The Israeli military on Saturday kept up its fierce bombardment of Lebanon, including Beirut's southern suburbs and the port city of Tyre, with two paramedics among those killed, as attacks continued to rage across much of the devastated Gaza Strip.

Israeli strikes killed dozens in Gaza on Sunday (Nov 17), the civil defence there said, and also hit a central Beirut district where a Lebanese source reported the death of Hezbollah's spokesman in one raid.
