Israeli Army: Lebanese Government Responsible for What Is Happening
In the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon earlier today, Israeli Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a statement on X addressing reports of civilian casualties and property damage. The airstrikes reportedly targeted a Hezbollah position said to be used for fire management and protection. However, Lebanese media claimed that a nearby civilian building was hit, resulting in injuries. Adraee denied these allegations, stating that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had not targeted any civilian infrastructure. "According to the information available to us," he wrote, "the building was struck by a rocket-propelled munition that was stored inside the Hezbollah site and detonated as a result of the strike." Adraee went on to condemn Hezbollah, accusing the group of endangering civilians by storing weapons near populated areas. 'The terrorist Hezbollah continues to store its aggressive rockets near residential buildings and the Lebanese population, putting them at risk,' he said. He further asserted that Hezbollah's refusal to hand over its arsenal to the Lebanese state constitutes a persistent threat to residents in southern Lebanon. In his statement, Adraee also placed blame on the Lebanese government, holding it responsible for the current situation. 'The Lebanese government bears responsibility for what is happening on its territory due to its failure to confiscate Hezbollah's heavy weapons and rocket stockpiles,' he stated. The exchange adds to growing tensions along the Israeli-Lebanese border, amid escalating confrontations between the Israeli military and Hezbollah in recent weeks.

Israel: Targeting Hezbollah stronghold in Southern Lebanon
Shafaq News - Nabatiyeh Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Thursday targeting the Ali Al-Taher area in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh. Eyewitnesses told Shafaq News that several explosions were heard in the area, accompanied by the sound of Israeli jet fighters. Surveillance drones were also seen flying over multiple locations in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Army spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said Israeli fighter jets targeted a site in the Mount Shuqayf area (known locally as Ali Al-Taher) of southern Lebanon that was being 'used to operate Hezbollah's fire control and protection systems.' سلسلة من الغارات في منطقة النبطية — LBCI Lebanon News (@LBCI_NEWS) June 27, 2025 According to Adraee, the site is part of an underground project that had previously been disabled by Israeli strikes but was undergoing reconstruction. 'The existence of this site and the attempts to rebuild it constitute a blatant violation of the agreements between Israel and Lebanon,' Adraee said, adding, the army will continue working to eliminate 'any threat to the State of Israel.' The area had also been hit in a previous Israeli strike last month that killed two civilians, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. There were no immediate reports of casualties or material damage from Thursday's attacks. Lebanese authorities have yet to issue an official response. #عاجل 🔸هاجمت طائرات جيش الدفاع الحربية قبل قليل موقعًا كان يستخدم لادارة أنظمة النيران والحماية لحزب الله الارهابي في منطقة جبل شقيف في جنوب لبنان. 🔸يعد هذا الموقع جزء من مشروع تحت الارض تم إخراجه عن الخدمة نتيجة غارات جيش الدفاع في المنطقة حيث رصد جيش الدفاع محاولات لاعادة… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 27, 2025

Indian students evacuated from Tehran, some moved out of country via Armenia: MEA
New Delhi: Indian students in Tehran have been relocated from the city, and some Indian nationals have been assisted in leaving the country through the border with Armenia, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced on Tuesday amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. As the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day, the hostilities between the two nations continued to escalate as several missiles from Iran were fired at Israel, triggering air raid sirens in Haifa and dozens of other cities and communities across northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights, confirmed by the Israeli military. "Indian students in Tehran have been moved out of the city for reasons of safety, through arrangements made by the Embassy. Other residents who are self-sufficient in terms of transport have also been advised to move out of the city in view of the developing situation," the MEA said. "Separately, some Indians have been facilitated to leave Iran through the border with Armenia," it added. The Ministry also said that the Indian Embassy is continuously in touch with the community to provide all feasible assistance. It stated that further advisory will be issued for the security of Indian nationals. Earlier in the day, India urged its nationals in Iran and Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) to evacuate Tehran and shift to a safer location following escalating tensions in the region. "All Indian Nationals and PIOs who can move out of Tehran using their own resources, are advised to move to a safe location outside the City," the Indian Embassy in Iran had posted on X. The Indians were asked to be in touch with the Embassy and provide their location and contact numbers. The Embassy also issued helpline numbers -- +989010144557; +989128109115; +989128109109 -- to assist the evacuation process. This also comes against the backdrop of Israel's warning to people, advising them to evacuate central Tehran, signalling a possible escalation in its military offensive on Iran. In a post on X, Avichay Adraee, a spokesman for the Israeli military, called residents of District C, located in the northeastern part of the city, to evacuate. "In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has over recent days in other parts of Tehran, to strike military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime," Adraee said. "Your presence in this area endangers your life," he said. "For your safety and security, we urge you to immediately evacuate." Several important state institutions, government offices, and semi-governmental organisations, as well as communication and intelligence facilities, are located in District C, Xinhua news agency reported. The Israeli military said in a statement that since the morning hours, Israeli warplanes have struck trucks containing weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers, advancing from western Iran toward Tehran.

Israel issues evacuation warning to residents in Tehran ahead of strikes
Tel Aviv/Jerusalem: Israel issued on Monday evacuation warning to a municipal district in Tehran, calling its residents to urgently leave ahead of Israeli airstrikes. In a post on Persian and Arabic on social media platform X, Avichay Adraee, a spokesman for the Israeli miliary, called residents of District C, located in the northeastern part of the city, to evacuate. 'In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has over recent days in other parts of Tehran, to strike military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime,' Adraee said. 'Your presence in this area endangers your life,' he said. 'For your safety and security, we urge you to immediately evacuate.' Several important state institutions, government offices, and semi-governmental organisations, as well as communication and intelligence facilities are located in District C, Xinhua news agency reported. The Israeli military said in a statement that since the morning hours, Israeli warplanes have struck trucks containing weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers, advancing from western Iran toward Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz visited the Tel Nof airbase in the south of the country. During the visit, Netanyahu said that the Israeli Air Force 'controls the skies over Tehran.' He claimed: 'We are on our way to achieving our two main objectives: eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat.' The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday Israel seeks to expand the war to other countries in the West Asia region. He made the remarks at a weekly press conference while condemning the ongoing Israeli 'aggression' against Iran, which has started since early Friday. Baghaei said, 'We have no doubt that Israel wishes to fan the flames of the war as much as it can and spread the flames to other countries and players in the region,' adding that Israel had attacked residential buildings in Iran and a children's hospital in Tehran. He stressed that Iran's nuclear programme was merely a pretext for Israel as no evidence was available indicating a diversion from the 'peaceful path' in Iran's nuclear programme.
