s hit the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Monday after the IDF called for residents in large swaths of the ancient coastal city to evacuate, while Hezbollah rockets continued to rain down across northern Israel.
The IDF said following the strikes that the Hezbollah targets in Tyre included weapons depots, buildings used by the terror group, and observation posts belonging to various of its units.
"The Hezbollah terror organization advanced terror activities against Israeli citizens and IDF troops from these compounds," the military said. It said Tyre is a major Hezbollah stronghold, especially for the terror group’s Aziz regional unit, from which it plans attacks on Israel.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported "a series of strikes" on the coastal city, beginning with a raid on a residential apartment. An AFP video journalist reported thick clouds of smoke covering parts of Tyre, including rising from a building along the seafront.
The IDF had earlier told residents in parts of central Tyre to leave immediately, warning it would attack Hezbollah targets there. In a warning published on social media, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man Col. Avichay Adraee warned residents that "Hezbollah’s activity forces the IDF to act in the area you are in," and stressed that "the IDF does not want to harm you."
He published a map of the targeted areas, and instructed residents within the relevant areas to "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," Adraee added.
The union of Tyre municipalities received a phone call in Arabic, apparently from the Israeli military, urging residents to evacuate several streets in the area, a municipal source told AFP. The NNA said the union instructed the civil defense and emergency personnel to use loudspeakers to urge residents to leave, "which created a state of panic."
The strikes on Monday afternoon followed an air raid in the early hours of Monday morning in the center of the city that the Lebanese health ministry said killed seven people and maimed 17 others. The toll did not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
