"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Fresh airstrikes and evacuation warnings in Beirut's southern suburbs - Naharnet

Three Israeli airstrikes hit the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut on Saturday morning, shortly after the Israeli army issued a new call to evacuate the area.

Since Tuesday, Israel has carried out several strikes on the city's southern suburbs, a stronghold of Hezbollah.

AFPTV video showed three plumes of smoke rising over the buildings in the area on Saturday morning.

Shortly before the attack, Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X a call for residents of the Haret Hreik suburb to evacuate.

"You are close to facilities and interests belonging to Hezbollah, against which the Israeli military will be acting with force in the near future," the post said in Arabic, identifying specific buildings and telling residents to move at least 500 meters away.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) said Israel carried out three air raids, including one near Haret Hreik.

"The first strike near Haret Hreik destroyed buildings and caused damage in the area," it said.

Adraee later issued evacuation warnings for three buildings in Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh and Ghobeiri.
