Tensions Rise: Evacuation Ordered in Tyre Amidst Hezbollah Concerns

Previous orders hadn't included the Christian quarter, but concerns over militant presence prompted the inclusion. The military did not provide evidence of Hezbollah's presence.
The Israeli military has commanded a full-scale evacuation of Tyre in Lebanon, including the Christian neighborhood, amid growing tensions with Hezbollah.

Officials have warned the residents that if Hezbollah militants continue to operate in the area, further measures may be enacted.
