Lebanon’s culture minister says Israeli strikes on the country’s south are putting heritage sites, including in the ancient city of Tyre, in “serious danger.”
“Bombings fell very close to the ruins of Tyre,” a UNESCO World Heritage site, Ghassan Salame says, adding that the medieval Beaufort castle overlooking Nabatieh was “directly hit.”
Despite an official ceasefire, fighting has largely continued between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, after the Iranian proxy attacked the Jewish state on March 2.
