Life Begins Again in Tyre After Israeli Attacks
With the halt of Israeli attacks in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, residents have started returning to their homes and workplaces. Historic markets are quickly reviving, while heavy destruction persists in modern neighborhoods.
The city of Tyre in southern Lebanon is witnessing debris removal and damage assessment efforts following the latest Israeli airstrikes. With the bombardment ceasing, residents have begun returning to their homes and workplaces in an effort to revive economic and commercial life.
According to Al Jazeera correspondent Johnny Tanyous, the regional developments' impact on the situation in southern Lebanon is becoming clearer, while the first signs of commercial activity and the state of affairs in Tyre are starting to appear.
Historic Markets Revived
The old markets and historic streets in the city were spared from being directly targeted. Their narrow alleys served as shelters for civilians during periods of escalating clashes. The sturdiness of these structures allowed commercial activities to resume rapidly immediately after the end of military operations, contributing to the city's economic vitality.
A shop owner in the old market said that the local population is eager to return to their shops and homes and continue their businesses in an orderly manner.
In contrast, Israeli attacks caused damage to the city's modern neighborhoods. Civil defense and municipal teams are continuing their work to remove debris and open closed roads.
Citizen Ali said that his apartment, which he had repaired with his own efforts after the 2024 war, was damaged again, but he noted that the main blow was the loss of residents in the vicinity due to the complete destruction of five buildings.
Elderly Abu Hussein sadly examined the damage to his home of 30 years in the latest attacks. "A lifetime of work gone... We used to sit and reminisce, it's all passed," he said, expressing his feelings.
Normalization Efforts on the Coastline
The city experienced pressure on the ground due to evacuation orders issued by the Israeli army covering most of the residential areas. With the cessation of attacks and the return of people, families headed to the city's coastline, maintaining expectations for a comprehensive ceasefire and stability.
According to official Lebanese data, Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2 have displaced more than 1 million people. Israel also continues to occupy areas in southern Lebanon it has held for decades, as well as those it controlled during the 2023-2024 war. In the current wave of attacks, Israel has advanced more than 10 kilometers deep into Lebanese territory, its deepest operation since its withdrawal in 2000.
