Artillery barrages and airstrikes landed across Lebanon Thursday, including the coastal city of Tyre. Israel claimed it was targeting Hezbollah. The Lebanese health ministry says that at least 16 people have died in the strikes so far, while many others have fled. Founded by the Phoenicians nearly 5,000 years ago, Tyre is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and a center of Lebanese culture and identity. Ali Badawi is the regional director for southern Lebanon in the country’s Ministry of Culture and speaks with Host Carolyn Beeler about the significance of the city and what’s at risk.
