Israeli air strikes hit southern Lebanon on Tuesday, killing at least 8 people in the city of Tyre, according to Lebanese health officials. The attacks came despite Iran warning Israel not to continue military operations in Lebanon. The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for parts of Tyre, including its Christian quarter for the first time. Thousands of residents fled the area. Israel said it would continue targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed it launched rockets and drones at Israeli forces. The latest violence has increased tensions in the region and raised concerns over the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran. (PC: AFP)
