ALBAWABA - The Israeli Army has issued a new evacuation order for residents of the city of Tyre, specifically Shibliha, in preparation for an attack on it.

The Israeli army called on Lebanese residents of that area to leave towards the north of Zahrani.

At least four people were killed as Israel carried out an airstrike on southern Lebanon on early Wednesday, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported. The attack targeted a building in the Jal al-Bahr area near Hiram Hospital, killing four people.

Despite the ceasefire deal between Iran and the United States on early Wednesday morning, Israel announced that it would not halt attacks on Lebanon. 

Hezbollah joined the recent war after the assassination of Iran's then-supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, in a joint attack by the U.S. and Israel on February 28.
