Residents of south Lebanon’s Tyre including the Christian quarter fled, after Israel’s army for the first time warned the entire city to evacuate ahead of strikes, AFP reports.

The warning came a day after Iran, which insists a halt to the wider Middle East conflict must include a ceasefire in Lebanon, warned it would resume attacks on Israel if it kept striking its neighbour.
