Israel launches new attack on historic Lebanese city of Tyre • FRANCE 24 English

Israeli forces have once again launched airstrikes on the ancient city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, causing widespread destruction and prompting new evacuation orders for residents. The attack, which targeted the historic port city, comes amidst escalating tensions in the region.

Residents of Shmustar, a town in eastern Lebanon, expressed confusion and frustration over the attack on their city, which resulted in the death of at least one person. Many residents noted that there is no militant presence in the area, raising questions about the rationale behind the Israeli strikes.

One resident of Shmustar highlighted the role of American support and the silence of Arab-Islamic states in enabling Israeli aggression. They lamented the lack of accountability for the violence being perpetrated against Lebanese civilians and urged for international intervention to hold Israel accountable for its actions.

The latest attack on Tyre underscores the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon, with the historic city once again bearing the brunt of the violence. As tensions continue to escalate in the region, residents remain fearful for their safety and uncertain about the future of their historic city.
