The Israeli military has warned residents in 24 areas in Lebanon - including 14 in the capital Beirut - that it plans to carry out strikes in the coming hours and throughout the night.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it would target banks and other financial infrastructure supporting Hezbollah.

A BBC correspondent in Beirut said there have been eight air strikes in the capital's southern Dahieh district, an area controlled by Hezbollah.

Lebanon's state-run media also reported a strike in the east of the country. It is unclear whether there were any casualties.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it had fired more rockets into Israel on Sunday, targeting military bases.

In a statement on Sunday evening, IDF spokesman Rear Adm Daniel Hagari warned that "anyone located near sites used to fund Hezbollah’s terror activities must move away from these locations immediately".

"We will strike several targets in the coming hours and additional targets throughout the night," he said.

"In the coming days, we will reveal how Iran funds Hezbollah's terror activities by using civilian institutions, associations, and NGOs that act as fronts for terrorism," the Israeli spokesman added.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported a strike on the bank Al-Qard Al-Hassan association in the country's eastern Bekaa Valley.

Israel accuses the association of financing Hezbollah.
