Beirut: Heavy traffic was observed on Monday (September 23) heading north from Lebanon's southern coastal city of Sidon, as some residents fled with their belongings amid heavy Israeli bombardment that intensified throughout the day.
At least 274 people were killed and 727 wounded, including women, children, and medics, in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, the country's health ministry said in a statement.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli military urged Lebanese citizens to evacuate areas where it said Hezbollah was storing weapons. It also launched the most widespread wave of airstrikes against hundreds of the armed group's targets.
Monday's attacks mark the deadliest day in Lebanon in nearly a year of conflict.
