The Israeli army launched several air strikes on Lebanon’s historic southern port city of Tyre, known in Arabic as Sour, on Wednesday.
Israel says it is bombing the city due to military actions by Lebanese group Hezbollah, without providing evidence.
Sour is said to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. One of the ancient Phoenician cities, it is from Sour that queen Dido, known locally as Elissar, is believed to have left her homeland to found the Carthaginian empire in present-day Tunisia.
I heard that hezbollah was hiding gold bars, diamonds, heavy weaponry, and worst of all journalists in the sea. Gotta bomb that. \s
