Israeli forces have conducted repeated airstrikes and limited ground operations across southern Lebanon since the March 2026 resumption of major fighting with Hezbollah, including strikes on Tyre and establishment of a self-declared security zone up to roughly 10 km from the border. Recent August 2026 developments show Israeli tanks and bulldozers crossing the yellow line buffer into towns such as Haris, alongside demolitions, artillery shelling, and placement of flags along the Naqoura-Tyre coastal highway, signaling efforts to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure and secure northern approaches. Netanyahu has stated troops will remain as long as security requirements persist, while Hezbollah has responded with drones and localized clashes. These patterns of incremental advances and persistent low-level engagements, set against fragile ceasefire attempts, shape trader assessments of whether ground entry into Tyre itself occurs within any given timeframe.
