עמוס, פרק א׳, פסוק י׳

The judgment against the city of Tyre targets its most secure strongholds and centers of power. While other nations, such as the Philistines, faced prophecies of total annihilation, the fate of Tyre is notably different. Instead of complete destruction, the city is destined to suffer a crushing defeat, leaving its inhabitants heavily battered but not entirely wiped out [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

The consuming fire destined for the city's walls points to a specific historical reality. This devastation did not happen all at once. Rather, Tyre's downfall unfolded in two distinct phases: the initial destruction brought about by Nebuchadnezzar, followed by the later conquests of Alexander the Great [מלבי״ם].
