Fishing boats haven't left the Tyre port in two days. Fishermen in the southern Lebanese coast were left with no choice but to watch their moored small boats or try their luck with a fishing rod after the Israeli military issued a warning on Monday against operating vessels there. We used to go to the sea for food, but now we can't. How can we consume?” In a seaside cafe, Abu Ibrahim asked CNN. His family lives in one of the schools that have been converted into shelters for the displaced in Beirut. We have no other options. He added, "There are no shops open." In a town that has largely vanished, the only signs of life are a few bars and cafes near the port. Residents and internally displaced people who had previously sought refuge in the city and its suburbs were driven out by Israeli strikes on a regular basis. Little supplies are reaching Tyre as a result of earlier Israeli warnings against driving south. The majority of the city's restaurants and shops have closed. Everyone congregates here. Tony Khatouki, a passerby, told CNN, "This is a safe spot." He argued that the city's seaport is its own bubble within a war-ravaged city.
"Now the sea is off limits. How can we eat," ask fisherman on southern Lebanese coast
