Traffic gridlocked in Beirut as panicked residents flee after Israel's military orders evacuation of the city's southern suburbs, signaling plans for a major bombardment.

Residents are advised to 'save your lives and evacuate your homes immediately' with specified routes to central Beirut and further north.

The order comes after Israel and Hezbollah exchanged attacks, with the conflict claiming 102 lives and displacing over 83,000 people in Lebanon.

French President Emmanuel Macron calls for an end to the conflict, announcing that Paris will send aid to Lebanon, while urging Hezbollah to cease fire and Israel to refrain from ground intervention.

Residents express frustration and fear, with some saying they don't feel safe even after leaving the area.

UN peacekeepers confirm clashes in southern Lebanon, with Israeli forces moving across the border and Hezbollah issuing statements announcing attacks on Israeli troops.
