Israel launched air strikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Tuesday, hours after ordering residents to evacuate parts of the area. Lebanese media reported that at least three people were killed in attacks across southern Lebanon, although the Israeli military had not officially confirmed the strikes. The escalation comes a day after Iran said it would halt further attacks on Israel if Israeli operations against Lebanon stopped. Israel has accused the Iran-backed Hezbollah group of violating the ceasefire and says its military actions are aimed at preventing attacks on northern Israeli communities. The latest developments have heightened fears of a wider regional conflict. (PC: BBC)
