Residents of Majdal Selm village in southern Lebanon informed Sputnik on Monday that families living along the southern border are unable to evacuate to safer areas of the country due to heavy shelling by Israeli aircraft.

"Attacks are being carried out on houses and roads, they have not stopped since early morning. That is why we cannot leave the village," one of the residents said.

At least one family had been killed in an airstrike, one resident said, adding that similar incidents were occurring in the villages of Touline and Qabrikha.

Residents of nearby villages confirmed to Sputnik that they have been unable to evacuate due to ongoing bombings.

Meanwhile, the main road from southern Lebanon to Beirut has been paralyzed by a massive flow of refugees, stretching for kilometers.
