Israeli airstrikes struck residential areas in the Lebanese city of Tyre this week, resulting in at least eight deaths and over 30 injuries. The strikes occurred as part of a wider military operation targeting dozens of villages across southern Lebanon, according to reports from The Guardian. The military action has forced civilians to flee the city's historic districts, though the impact on local archaeological heritage is still being assessed.
