The Israeli military on Tuesday issued an evacuation order for the Lebanese city of Tyre, including its Christian quarter, ahead of possible strikes.
Previous evacuation orders had excluded the Christian quarter, but the military said Hezbollah militants were operating there, without providing evidence. It had warned residents that the area could be subject to evacuation orders if Hezbollah remained present.
