Now 'proof' is the bench mark.. Well, that is what a prophecy is. It's proof that the God one (Ezekiel) is repersenting is legit. (That is why your peers have been desperatly trying to proove the prophecy wrong.)
Well, first of all, what is considered destruction? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by nuclear weapons; an attack more akin to what one might expect from a vengeful omnipotent being. Yet, these cities have been rebuilt, and are still called by their original names. The bible says that Nebuchadnezzar would ruin the city, but the one to do it was Alexander the great. It said the city wouldn't ever be found, but we have found it; even if we haven't excavated the city former. The point he was making was that even if we overlooked all of these flaws, this prophecy would still in no way prove that god had anything to do with the destruction of the Phonecian version of Tyre.
