Israeli airstrikes on June 7 and 8 have inflicted damage on the archaeological sites of Tyre, a city in southern Lebanon recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Culture Minister Ghassan Salame reported that the air raids targeted neighborhoods near ancient ruins, including the shopping plaza (agora) and Roman colonnade. Salame urged the international community to intervene and protect these invaluable antiquities, emphasizing that they constitute a shared heritage of humanity. He accused Israel of violating the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property During Armed Conflicts, which aims to safeguard cultural sites during warfare. Ali Badawi, Director of the Culture Ministry’s Department for the Protection of Archaeological Sites in Southern Lebanon, confirmed that significant elements such as columns, capitals, and mosaics in the El Mina archaeological park were damaged. He indicated that a comprehensive assessment of the destruction would be conducted once it is safe for archaeologists to access the impacted areas. The ongoing conflict poses a serious risk to the preservation of Tyre's rich historical legacy, which has already seen previous airstrikes lead to damage of other ancient structures.
