Israel orders Tyre evacuation and attacks Beirut suburbs as US helicopter crashes in Lebanon

The Israeli army warned all residents of the Lebanese city of Tyre and surrounding areas to evacuate ahead of imminent attacks, citing ongoing clashes with Iran‑backed Hezbollah. Israeli forces also struck suburbs of Beirut, despite a declared cease‑fire, causing heavy smoke and building damage.

A Lebanese health ministry report said an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed five people, including four Red Cross medics, and injured eight others. Meanwhile, a US Apache helicopter crashed near the Hormus road in Lebanon; both crew members escaped unharmed, with the cause still under investigation. Israeli air defenses intercepted a drone over southern Israel that was reported to have originated from Yemen. US President Donald Trump indicated that negotiations on a potential Iran peace agreement were in their final stages.
