Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least Nine in Southern Lebanon’s Tyre

At least nine Lebanese civilians have been killed and dozens more wounded after Israeli airstrikes hit the historic port city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese authorities.

The strikes on Tuesday targeted a residential area of the coastal city, while the Lebanese National News Agency reported a further 28 people were injured in Israeli aggression.

Civil defence and ambulance teams are continuing search-and-rescue operations, clearing rubble in an effort to locate those still missing.

The killings came as an Israeli airstrike hit a popular housing area of the coastal city on Tuesday.

Israel had struck the area earlier before issuing a forced displacement order that included Tyre’s ancient Christian quarter, previously exempted from evacuation warnings. Tyre has faced repeated Israeli strikes in recent days.
