Tyre was never a nation in the modern sense. It was a city-state like Athens. There has never been a time when Tyre was completely destroyed or completely uninhabited. In fact, the population of modern Tyre is roughly four times what it was at the height ancient Tyre.
History-1 : Prophecy-nil.

The Nation of Tyre was completely destroyed, as confirmed by numerous secular sources. There now exists a small portion in the area where the nation of Tyre once stood--a small area called a district.
"Tyre in Later Centuries
Tyre was razed to the ground. It was standard practise for a victorious army to reduce the walls of a conquered city to rubble, lest the city be refortified and again used against them. This was the case with Tyre. Stripped of its impressive defences and denuded of its citizens, proud Tyre, no longer even an island was for a time, only fit for fishermen to dry their nets on the bare rock. . . .
By the end of the 19th century, a population was again beginning to form in what had once been Tyre."
