Israel has attacked more than 200 Lebanese places in a day and a half, bringing the total death toll to nearly 3,500.

A Hezbollah spokesman was also killed in an airstrike in central Beirut, the capital, without prior evacuation orders.

Reporter Shin Woong-jin's report.

As Lebanese citizens evacuate to remote locations following Israel's warning, fighter jets drop bombs and blow up buildings.

Israel relentlessly launched the bombing after informing them to leave seven buildings in southern Lebanon, including Hadas.

Israel claims to be the militant Hezbollah base, but Lebanese authorities refute it as absurd.

[George Aoun / Mayor of Hadas, Lebanon: Photo of the scene says. It's a crime in front of your eyes. This is not war, it is an act of destruction. It is a building with no one but innocent people, families, and residents. What can I say?]

Israeli airstrikes are usually concentrated in southern Lebanon's suburbs, but this time they have also hit central Beirut.

Unusually, there was no evacuation order in advance.

[Leda Reda / Witness: Everyone in the supermarket was scared during the raid and my wife was scared too. I said it was normal, but I was honestly afraid.]

This very airstrike killed Muhammad Afif, the chief spokesman for Hezbollah.

Afif is a close aide to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, who died in late September, and is the media director who manages Hezbollah broadcaster Almanar TV.

Israel said it had attacked more than 200 Lebanese sites in the past 36 hours, but declined to comment on Afif.

Lebanese authorities say 29 people were killed on the 16th of local time alone, with 3,481 killed and 14,786 injured in Israeli attacks so far.
