The Israeli military said Thursday that it had begun attacking Hezbollah infrastructure around the southern Lebanese city of Tyre after issuing calls for residents to leave the area.
"The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has begun striking Hezbollah infrastructure in the area of Tyre," the military posted on Telegram.
Ahead of the strikes, the IDF urged civilians near targeted buildings to move north of the Zahrani River, saying remaining in the area "places you at risk."
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli strikes hit Tyre and nearby areas Thursday morning, damaging a building and sparking a fire.
