On April 4, 2026, Israel's military intensified its strikes on Tyre, a city in southern Lebanon, following evacuation warnings issued to residents. The attacks targeted three buildings, including an 11-storey structure that was completely destroyed, and a five-storey building that was partially leveled. A missile strike also hit the Burj al-Shamali Palestinian refugee camp, contributing to the chaos in the area. Despite the evacuation warnings, around 20,000 people remain in Tyre, including 15,000 displaced individuals from surrounding villages. The strikes have wounded at least 11 people, including civil defense members, and damaged a major hospital, according to the Health Ministry in Beirut. The escalation follows Hezbollah's entry into the conflict, supporting Iran since March 2, 2026. Israel has also targeted southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, and destroyed a bridge in the West Bekaa region to prevent the movement of military reinforcements.
