As fierce fighting continues in southern Lebanon, Israel has issued mass evacuation orders for 10% of Lebanon’s territory there, including the city of Tyre.
In the country's fifth largest city, FRANCE 24's team on the ground found an atmosphere of defiance, with those who haven’t already fled refusing to leave.
"We grew up with Israeli crimes, what happened here will not change our resolve," said Khalil, the manager of a local energy business.
The power plant he works in was destroyed by Israeli strikes, but he vowed to stay in the city. "We are already cleaning everything up, and we will rebuild everything as it was before, even better," he said.
