Israel issues evacuation warning in Beirut's southern suburbs
Shafaq News/ Israel issued an urgent evacuation warning on Friday to residents in Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahieh), the first since the ceasefire with Lebanon took effect on November 27, 2024.
The alert, posted on X by the Israeli army Spokesman Avichay Adraee, claimed that the marked building and adjacent structures in the Hadath neighborhood are "located near Hezbollah-affiliated facilities, putting civilians at risk."
'For your safety and the safety of your families, you must evacuate these buildings immediately and move at least 300 meters away,' the warning read.

Reports: Israel kills Nasrallah's aide and Iraqi commander in Tehran
Shafaq News/ Hussein Khalil, a longtime aide to former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran along with a senior Iraqi commander, according to media reports on Saturday. Widely known as 'Abu Ali Khalil,' he had recently relocated from Iraq to Iran prior to the strike. Hezbollah has yet to confirm or deny the assassination. The same strike allegedly killed Haidar al-Moussawi, a senior commander in Iraq's Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, an Iran-backed faction. A source familiar with the group told Shafaq News that al-Moussawi was in charge of its operations in Syria. Israel has not officially acknowledged the operation. However, it coincides with the ninth straight day of Israeli airstrikes targeting high-value assets inside Iran. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has continued to launch waves of missiles and drones since June 13.

B-2 bombers head west as Trump weighs Iran strike
Shafaq News/ On Saturday, multiple US Air Force B-2 stealth bombers headed west across the Pacific, amid rising anticipation over whether President Donald Trump will authorize American strikes on Iran's underground nuclear sites. While their destination remains officially unconfirmed, aviation monitors reported signs the aircraft may be en route to Guam, a US territory that hosts several key military installations. US officials clarified that relocating bombers does not signal a final decision on military engagement. The maneuver, they said, is part of standard practice to position strategic assets and preserve operational flexibility should Trump authorize strikes. President Trump is expected to meet with his national security team on June 21 and 22. According to the White House schedule, two Situation Room briefings are planned. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt earlier said Trump would make a final decision within two weeks, citing a last diplomatic window for Iran to return to negotiations. She declined to comment on the latest bomber movements or the status of deliberations. However, Trump is also balancing concerns about entangling the US in another prolonged Middle East conflict —a scenario he has consistently opposed throughout his political career. The debate has split Trump's inner circle, pitting foreign policy hawks against isolationist voices within his base. The B-2s—capable of carrying 30,000-pound 'bunker buster' bombs—were reportedly accompanied by midair refueling tankers during the trans-Pacific movement. Defense analysts note the GBU-57 bomb is among the few US munitions designed to strike fortified targets such as Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment facility.
