Huge plumes of smoke were seen rising over the city's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah's main base is located.

In some cases the Israeli military gave warnings to residents to get out, but not much time - in one place just a few minutes.

Damage and casualties were still being assessed, but at least one multi-storey building had been completely destroyed.

The Israeli military said it had targeted Hezbollah's weapons storage facilities and its intelligence headquarters command centre in Dahieh.
