Israeli army urges residents in Lebanon’s Tyre to head north
We have more information on the Israeli army’s evacuation order for larger areas of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

Two Israeli officers and a number of soldiers ‘killed’ in Lebanon
Israelis have said the ground operation in Lebanon continues. We are hearing that two officers and a number of their soldiers have been killed on the ground. We’ll be able to give the exact details on that in the coming hours.
What we do know is that the key area of the Israeli attacks is Aita al-Shaab, which has been almost completely destroyed in terms of its infrastructure.
It’s important to note that Israelis have not entered Lebanon in large numbers; instead, they are conducting hit-and-run raids, where Hezbollah is able to push them back across the southern border.
But Hezbollah has also taken losses. The difference is that they are not disclosing this information publicly, or at least not releasing specific figures. Israelis say that some thousands of Hezbollah fighters have been killed.
The fighting, however, is ongoing and Hezbollah is still very much a fighting force.
