Israeli air strikes hit Lebanese city of Tyre after Iranian warning to stop attacks

The strikes hit a densely populated area and prompted new evacuation orders as Lebanese officials reported civilian deaths and injuries.

  • On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes killed at least eight people in Tyre, Lebanon, after military spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued an urgent evacuation warning for the city, including its Christian quarter.
  • These strikes occur as Israel and Iran paused direct attacks following U.S. intervention, though Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed the military would 'continue to operate in Lebanon against the terrorist organisation Hezbollah.'
  • Christian religious leaders from Tyre urged international intervention to spare the old quarter, as hundreds of families fled the city following the warning, clogging coastal highways with vehicles packed with possessions.
  • An Israeli missile strike near a Lebanese Red Cross building killed five people and wounded eight, including four paramedics, according to the Lebanese health ministry, while rescuers searched for survivors.
  • The latest Israel-Hezbollah conflict has killed around 3,500 people and displaced more than 1.2 million, as a UN commission reports widespread violations of human rights law by parties to the regional conflict.
