Air strikes continued into Saturday morning in southern Beirut, with a BBC correspondent seeing thick smoke rising over several locations in Dahieh

Elsewhere, the Israeli military says that it is "attacking" targets in the Bekaa Valley this morning after detecting a rocket fired from Lebanon

On Friday, Lebanese officials said six people were killed and 91 injured in an air strike, with local officials saying that nearly 800 people have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon since Monday.

The multiple strikes took place very close to a school where displaced people from the south of Lebanon have taken refuge.

At the beginning everyone, including us, thought it was a strong sonic boom as a result of Israeli jets breaking the sound barrier.

But then the sounds of explosions continued, round after round.

People rushed out of the building in fear. Women and children were screaming and crying. I saw some people faint, falling on the ground, BBC reported.

The man in charge of civil defence there was trying to calm people down, saying they were only sonic booms.

But soon we saw thick smoke coming from an area behind the building from the series of air strikes.
