Israeli attacks on Masaken al-Shaabiya in Tyre have killed nine civilians and injured 28 others, Lebanon’s Civil Defense reported on Tuesday, as the aggression on Lebanon continues unabated.
Civil Defense had reported the recovery of five injured after fires that broke out due to an Israeli airstrike on the city of Tyre were extinguished, while its teams continue to monitor the ground situation and take necessary measures in accordance with public safety requirements.
Earlier today, “Israel” issued a massive displacement threat targeting the ancient city of Tyre and more than 10 surrounding towns and refugee camps. Under the threat of imminent attacks, tens of thousands of residents were forced to flee their homes.
Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent reported that two civil defense personnel were injured while providing aid to a wounded person following an Israeli airstrike that targeted the town of Al-Sharqiyah in southern Lebanon.
Israeli attacks also targeted the areas of al-Masaken, Wadi al-Khardali, Aita al-Jabal, Msayleh, Srifa, and Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain. In parallel, Israeli drones continued intensive low-altitude flights over the capital, Beirut, and its suburbs.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health Emergency Operations Center reported that the cumulative toll since the expansion of the Israeli aggression on March 2 through June 8 has risen to 3,637 killed and 11,188 wounded.
‘Israel’s’ war on history, culture
Israeli bombardment damaged the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, a Culture Ministry official confirmed to AFP on Monday, as the Israeli occupation continues its aggression in southern Lebanon.
Ali Badawi, regional director of archaeological sites for South Lebanon, said Sunday’s attacks had produced “the worst impact” on Tyre’s ancient areas since the war began.
“The amount of debris and damage at the site is high,” he said, describing both direct damage, as the site’s administrative office was bombed, and the indirect impact of debris from surrounding bombardment.
Some archaeological artifacts were damaged when rubble fell on them, as debris fell over a large area, impacting a large number of elements at the site, columns, capitals, column bases, and mosaics.
Tyre is one of the oldest cities on the Mediterranean coast, located around 20 kilometres from the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine. Its World Heritage ruins are divided between two areas, the city site, home to Roman ruins, and al-Bass.
