Yesterday's key developments:
- The Israeli military said it had begun striking what it described as infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh, after earlier telling residents to leave their homes ahead of the bombardment.
- Fresh waves of explosions, most from interceptions, also rocked Dubai, Doha and Manama.
- NATO said it has strengthened its "ballistic missile defence posture" as Iran steps up its retaliatory strikes across the Middle East with a missile launched at alliance member Turkey before being shot down.
