Summary
The IDF expanded its warning to all of Tyre on Tuesday, telling residents to leave immediately and move north of the Zahrani River, about 20 miles from the city center.
Israel said Hezbollah operated inside Tyre's Christian Quarter and had violated the ceasefire by targeting Israel's home front, prompting what it called imminent action against militant sites.
Tyre's Christian Quarter — continuously inhabited for nearly 2,000 years — had previously avoided the strikes and evacuation orders imposed on other parts of the city during the current war.
The order deepens Israel's campaign against Hezbollah, which resumed after the group launched missile strikes on northern Israel in March amid a wider regional escalation.
