Israel launched a fresh strike on Beirut's southern suburbs late Sunday, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in the city. The strike came after a morning Israel army evacuation warning for the area, which has been repeatedly hit in the past fortnight.

Lebanese authorities reported a death toll of 850 in Israeli attacks, with over 830,000 people displaced, including 130,000 in collective shelters.

Displaced people, including hundreds sleeping rough or in tents near central Beirut's seafront, faced driving rain and misery.

Israel said no direct talks were planned with Lebanon to end the latest war with militant group Hezbollah, which has been raging for two weeks.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported its peacekeepers were fired upon three times on Sunday, likely by non-state armed groups.
