Chaos in central Beirut, where Israeli warplanes struck without warning, including near the city's seaside Corniche promenade.

The capital has absorbed many of the more than a million people displaced by Israeli attacks farther south, including Rana Dimash, who six weeks ago fled Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has offices.

She stayed up all night in the vacant building where her family has been sheltering and rejoiced at news of a ceasefire.

She says the building shook with explosions nearby.

Israel says it struck 100 Hezbollah targets in just 10 minutes.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says it's outraged by such attacks on densely populated urban areas.

Lebanon's health minister says hundreds are dead and injured.

The Red Cross says 100 ambulances are out in Beirut alone trying to rescue people.

Hospitals are asking for blood donations.

Israel issued fresh evacuation orders for areas in Beirut's southern suburbs this morning, but not for areas in central Beirut, where I am.

A posh area along Beirut's Corniche waterfront was struck today, which has not been a target before.

That blast hit near the residence of the Speaker of Lebanon's parliament.

Local media show a car in flames hit by an Israeli airstrike on the seafront in Sidon, a city in south Lebanon, which is not one of the areas Israel's military warned it would strike.

Many of the more than a million people displaced by Israel's invasion more than six weeks ago heard the ceasefire news, rejoiced, packed up and started driving home, but have been met with attacks.

Israeli troops are still inside Lebanon.

Their military has issued fresh evacuation orders for Lebanese villages across the south.
