The evacuation warning for Tyre is significant, as it is the first time the Israeli military has issued such an order for the city.
Iranian Warning Ignored
Iran had warned Israel to stop its attacks on Lebanon, threatening to resume attacks on Israel if the offensive continued.
However, the Israeli military has continued its operations in Lebanon, claiming to focus on Hezbollah targets.
'We will respond with force to future attacks,' said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, sources confirmed that the Iranian warning was clear: any ceasefire deal must include a truce in Lebanon.
Regional Tensions Escalate
The fragile regional truce is on the verge of collapse, with heavy Israeli bombardment continuing to claim civilian lives across southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
Experts said the situation is extremely volatile, with the potential for further escalation.
'The region is on the brink of a major conflict,' said one expert.
Despite this, Israeli forces have killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens in air attacks across southern Lebanon.
Historical Context

In recent years, the conflict has resulted in significant humanitarian suffering, with thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire.

Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds
