Israeli air strikes have hit targets in the Lebanese coastal city of Tyre, according to regional officials, shortly after Iran issued renewed warnings urging an end to cross-border attacks in the escalating Middle East conflict.

Local sources reported explosions in and around the city, with emergency services responding to damaged buildings and reports of civilian displacement in affected neighbourhoods.

The strikes are believed to be part of a broader escalation involving Israel and Iran-linked groups operating in Lebanon, amid growing fears that the conflict could expand further across the region.

Iranian officials had earlier warned that continued military action in Lebanon would trigger further consequences, framing the situation as part of wider regional tensions involving allied groups.

Israeli military representatives said operations were directed at what they described as militant infrastructure, though full details of the targets have not been independently verified.

Lebanese authorities condemned the strikes and called for international intervention to prevent further escalation and protect civilian populations.

Residents in Tyre described scenes of panic as air raid alerts sounded and families sought shelter during the bombardment.

Humanitarian organisations have warned that continued strikes risk worsening an already fragile situation in southern Lebanon, where infrastructure has been repeatedly damaged during periods of conflict.

Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions have intensified, with multiple countries urging restraint amid fears of a wider regional war.

Security analysts say the latest strikes underscore the volatility of the situation, particularly given the involvement of multiple state and non-state actors across the region.

The United Nations has previously called for all parties to avoid actions that could further destabilise Lebanon and surrounding areas.

Further updates are expected as assessments continue on the ground and international diplomatic responses develop.
