The Israeli military has issued an evacuation order for the Lebanese coastal city of Tyre, directing residents to leave the area including the city's Christian quarter.

Tyre, known in Arabic as Sour, is a major city in southern Lebanon located along the Mediterranean coast. The city is home to both Muslim and Christian populations, with the Christian quarter being a significant residential area.

The evacuation order comes amid ongoing military operations in the region. Israeli forces have previously issued similar directives for various areas in southern Lebanon as part of their military campaign.

The timing and scope of the evacuation order was not immediately detailed in available reports. It was also unclear how many residents would be affected by the directive or what specific timeframe was given for the evacuation.

Tyre has historical significance as an ancient Phoenician city and is home to important archaeological sites. The modern city serves as a regional center in southern Lebanon.
