After ordering the evacuation of Tyre in southern Lebanon, Israeli military has carried out air strikes on Hezbollah targets in the city.
The Israeli military told residents that it was “compelled to act forcefully” in Tyre because the Iran-backed armed group was violating a US-brokered ceasefire that began five weeks ago.
On Wednesday, May 27, Lebanese media reported a wave of Israeli strikes across the south and the eastern Bekaa Valley, with four people killed in the towns of Choukine and Nabatieh.
Hezbollah, which has itself accused Israel of breaching the ceasefire, said it was battling Israeli troops north of the Litani river, about 30km (19 miles) from the border.
Report says residents watched with horror from balconies, filming on their phones, as powerful Israeli air strikes hit Tyre, one of the biggest cities in southern Lebanon.
