The Israeli military issued an evacuation warning to the residents of the southern Lebanese city of Tyre and its surrounding areas on Sunday ahead of possible strikes as clashes between Israel and Hezbollah continue. The military said earlier it had intercepted two projectiles that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon, after sirens sounded in the areas of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali. Lebanese group Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for the launches. The Iran-backed group rejected proposals linking a ceasefire to its disarmament, saying Israel must first halt its attacks and withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon. Iran has made a ceasefire in Lebanon between its close ally and Israel a condition for any peace deal with the United States. Hezbollah entered the war on March 2, saying it was retaliating for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader at the start of a conflict that has since killed thousands in Lebanon and displaced more than a million people. Israel continued to carry out strikes in Lebanon even before March 2, despite a US-brokered ceasefire that took effect in November 2024. It said its attacks are aimed at Hezbollah members and infrastructure.
