Overview
- Israel issued a late-night evacuation order for Tyre and surrounding areas, triggering panic as strikes hit multiple regions and Hezbollah claimed new rocket barrages.
- Lebanese authorities report 912 people killed, including 111 children, with more than one million displaced as shelters overflow and many sleep in streets or unfinished buildings.
- The UN human rights office called for investigations into strikes on homes, displaced families on Beirut’s seafront, and a healthcare center in Bint Jbeil, warning that evacuation orders may amount to forced displacement.
- The IDF says limited ground operations are underway in southern Lebanon, while three Lebanese soldiers were killed Tuesday in Israeli strikes as hospitals and health facilities reported damage and injuries to medical staff.
- Leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the UK urged de-escalation and warned against a large Israeli ground offensive, as Lebanon’s government floated direct talks that Hezbollah rejects without a halt in fighting.
