Israel Orders Tyre Christian Quarter Evacuated, Strikes City After 5 Killed

Summary
Israel’s military issued a rare evacuation order for Tyre’s Christian quarter and launched fresh strikes on the southern Lebanese city, saying Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire and targeted Israel’s home front.
Avichay Adraee posted the warning on X, and Lebanon’s state news agency reported attacks on a public housing area as rescue teams recovered another body from earlier strikes.
Monday’s strike on Tyre killed 5 people and wounded 8, Lebanese authorities said, underscoring the mounting toll as Israel expands warnings to areas previously excluded.
The latest attacks further strain the US-brokered Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, which Hezbollah never joined and rejects while Israeli forces remain in Lebanon.
