Desk note: Wire coverage of the Tyre withdrawal on 31 May was carried primarily by Lebanon- and region-focused outlets. Monexus flagged the absence of comment from both the IDF spokesperson and the Lebanese Civil Defense directorate as part of the story, rather than waiting for a clarifying statement that, as of publication, had not arrived.
