An as-of-yet-unknown number of buildings have been destroyed in the center of Lebanonâs fifth-largest city.
âHezbollahâs activity forces the IDF to act in the area you are in. The IDF does not want to harm you,â Israeli Colonel Avichay Adraee, the armyâs Arabic-language spokesman, announced via social media on the morning of October 23, alongside a map of the areas that the regime planned to carpet bomb.

âYou must immediately move away from the area marked in red and head north to the Awali River. Anyone who is near Hezbollah personnel, facilities and weapons of Hezbollah is putting their life in danger!â Adraee added.
Lebanese civil defense officials told Al Jazeera earlier in the day that âthe entire city is being evacuatedâ in response to the Zionist threats, which amount to turning any area they target into a kill zone.
âThis is only going to add to the pressure on places like Beirut, which doesnât have any more government shelters. People are sleeping on the streets, on the Corniche along the beach, and living in tents,â the Qatari news outletâs correspondent in the south of Lebanon reported.

At least 200,000 people inhabited the city of Tyre before the expansion of the Zionist entity’s war on Lebanon. The ancient city has been continuously inhabited for more than 4,000 years, rising to prominence as a key maritime and trade hub in the Mediterranean under different empires.
Over one million people have been internally displaced in Lebanon, as western governments have given the Zionist entity the green light to expand its war against the crisis-hit nation.
