The IDF again calls on Lebanese civilians in the southern coastal city of Tyre to evacuate.
Meanwhile, several Israeli strikes are reported by Lebanese media in southern Lebanon this morning.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said overnight that the two-week ceasefire in Iran does not cover Lebanon.
“Urgent warning to the residents of the city of Tyre, specifically in Shabriha… you must evacuate your homes immediately,” army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee says on X, attaching a map showing a building that is to be targeted.
The entire city is already under a blanket evacuation order covering all of southern Lebanon, and the IDF has repeatedly ordered its residents to leave in recent weeks.
