Israel launched heavy airstrikes across southern Lebanon after issuing large-scale evacuation orders covering areas south of the Zahrani River. The Israeli military said the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in and around the coastal city of Tyre. Videos from the area showed collapsed buildings, fires and residents fleeing through smoke-filled streets. Lebanese media reported casualties, including civilians allegedly killed while escaping threatened villages. Shelters in nearby Sidon have reportedly reached full capacity as displacement increases. The escalation comes despite an ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides accusing each other of repeated violations amid growing fears of a wider regional conflict. (PC: BBC)
