The Israeli military issued an urgent warning Wednesday to residents in several areas of the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon to immediately evacuate due to “ongoing military operations” against Hezbollah.

Residents in four major streets in the city have been instructed to leave their homes and relocate north of the Awali River, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Tyre.

Israeli strikes in recent days have targeted the southern coastal city, destroying a building and causing damage to several homes, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.
