50 projectiles fired from Lebanon, says Israeli military

The Israeli military said around 50 projectiles were fired from Lebanon at the country's north early Wednesday, without any reports of casualties.

"Some of the projectiles were intercepted and fallen projectiles were identified in the area," a military statement said, while Hezbollah said it launched "a large salvo of missiles" at the town of Safed.

 The Israeli military on Wednesday ordered residents to leave part of southern Beirut, a warning which usually precedes strikes on the area pinpointed in the Lebanese capital.

 A strike hit south Beirut on Wednesday, AFPTV footage showed, less than an hour after the Israeli military ordered residents to leave part of the Lebanese capital.
