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.

Report: Hezbollah studying US paper, int'l community bets on Berri role
by Naharnet Newsdesk 27 June 2025, 14:20 The ideas proposed by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack during his latest visit to Lebanon are now being discussed by President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam to reach 'a unified approach that would be adopted by Cabinet,' a media report said. Aoun, Berri and Salam are awaiting 'the response of Hezbollah's leadership, after the ideas were sent to it for discussion and ahead of taking a final decision,' Lebanese sources told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper. 'Through shuttling between Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Israel, Barrack is seeking to offer all forms of support to preserve the stability of these countries,' the sources added. The international community is meanwhile 'betting on a role for Berri in convincing his ally to offer the necessary facilitation, after he fulfilled his pledge that Hezbollah would not take part in the Iranian-Israeli war,' the sources said. 'This had facilitated Barrack's mission during his first visit to Beirut, which was focused on keeping Lebanon out of the war, considering it one of the ideas aimed at helping it devise an executive mechanism for the ceasefire agreement,' the sources added.
