Israel carries out airstrikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre (Sour) on Tuesday, according to Lebanon’s health ministry and state media. The ministry reports that at least eight people are killed in a strike on Tyre’s eastern edge, while multiple outlets citing Lebanon’s figures later put the death toll at 11 and say nine people are wounded, including two women. Israel issues an evacuation warning for the entire city shortly after the strike, with reports describing debris and ongoing searches for survivors by rescuers.
Coverage also says Israel’s air operations extend beyond Tyre, with state-run National News Agency reporting raids on more than a dozen other locations across southern Lebanon as Israel presses its campaign against Hezbollah. Separately, one outlet notes that Israel and Iran halt direct attacks on each other after a U.S. appeal by President Donald Trump, while Tehran says it will resume hostilities if Israel continues attacks on Hezbollah.
The strike is described as among the deadliest on Tyre since fighting between Israel and Hezbollah began on March 2, following Hezbollah rocket fire into Israel.
