Israel army says will strike Hezbollah assets in Tyre

The Israeli military on Tuesday announced it would imminently strike buildings in the south Lebanese city of Tyre, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, saying it was targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and warning residents to leave.

"To the residents of the buildings marked in red on the attached maps and those in the vicinity -- you are positioned in the immediate vicinity of Hezbollah assets," the military's Arabic-language spokesman, Avichay Adraee, posted on X.

"For your safety, you must evacuate immediately and maintain a minimum distance of 300 meters (yards)," he added, shortly after Israel struck an Islamist group's headquarters in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon.
