Well, there's still a lot of confusion about exactly what happened here.

I've been speaking to Ali Shoko.

He's an architect, he's a mayor, and he also teaches in the local university.

I think at one o'clock they sent an alert, the Israeli army, to evacuate all people who live here, children, parents, older people.

To evacuate in less than half hour.

Where to go?

We have here some people who have a special need.

Where to go?

How to leave them?

How?

I don't know.

After half hour they begin.

of our many younger families perhaps did heed israeli warnings to leave the elderly and those who couldn't have stayed here including one very angry woman we've been speaking to who lives around the corner from this huge bomb site israel is attacking us unjustly what do they want from us they want to fool us no one fools us we are hezbollah and we will prevail hezbollah

A few people were killed at this site.

We're not sure how many.

But this area has been the subject of loads, many, many Israeli bomb strikes in recent days.

What is particularly interesting about this one, as we're trying to put together exactly what happened, is that a few hundred metres to my left...

At the same time, there was an Israeli military incursion by helicopter.

Those Israeli fighters apparently engaged in a gunfight with Hezbollah fighters.

There were casualties.
