"The Israeli military also dropped leaflets in Beirut, warning of expanded operations inside the capital and urging people in southern Shiite neighborhoods to evacuate. Those neighborhoods have been bastions of support for Hezbollah.
"To the people who live in Hay El Soulom, Borj El Barajneh, Shiyah ... For your safety," one flier warned.
"You must evacuate these areas immediately and evacuate any area from where Hezbollah and its members or their assistants are launching their terrorist operations.
"Be aware!"
Also receiving warning leaflets from Israel were northern Lebanese towns including El Beddaoui, Lebanese Internal Security Forces said.
Those leaflets warned that Israel will target any type of truck moving along the coastal road.
"Be aware that anybody using pick-ups or trucks puts his life in danger," one leaflet warned.
The leaflets said such vehicles will be targeted under suspicion of "transporting rockets, military ammunitions and terrorists."
