A strike hit near the south Lebanon coastal city of Tyre, AFPTV images showed, as official media reported an Israeli raid after Israel’s military issued an evacuation call, reports AFP.

AFPTV footage captured smoke billowing after the Israeli military on X warned residents in and near a building in Al-Hawsh, just south of Tyre, to evacuate, while Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported that “enemy aircraft launched a strike that targeted” the Al-Hawsh area.
