16:01: After the recent Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon, many people are apparently fleeing in panic. Many people are fleeing from the suburbs of the southern city of Tyre, residents told the German Press Agency. Some rushed to the center of the coastal city and to the site of the UN observer mission Unifil. The streets filled with cars of people who apparently wanted to drive towards Beirut or other places in the north of the country. Traffic jams occurred on the roads.
There was “panic and chaos,” eyewitnesses reported. In the coastal city of Sidon, which lies about halfway between Tyre and Beirut, traffic came to a complete standstill at times. Drivers shared videos on social media showing masses of Lebanese driving north.
