The U.S. decision to evacuate family members and non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Lebanon is part of the precautionary measures taken across the region following the U.S. strikes on Iran, media reports said.

The Lebanese Army inspected Monday a building in Hay al-American in Hadath in search of military equipment.

Army forces had inspected buildings in the area, once with a bulldozer, at the request of the five-member committee supervising the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.

President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi have condemned a weekend suicide attack on a Greek Orthodox church in Damascus that killed 22 people.

Al-Rahi condemned "the targeting of Christians in the East" while Berri said that "terrorism has no sect or religion" and "terrorists are enemies of God, regardless to which religion they belong."

Hezbollah has long been considered Iran's first line of defense in case of a war with Israel. But since Israel launched its massive barrage against Iran, triggering the ongoing Israel-Iran war, the Lebanese militant group has stayed out of the fray — even after the U.S. entered the conflict Sunday with strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

A network of powerful Iran-backed militias in Iraq has also remained mostly quiet.

Hezbollah has condemned the U.S. strikes on Iran in a statement but did not threaten to join in Tehran’s retaliation.

“The blatant deceit and deception practiced by U.S. President Donald Trump, driven by illusions of control and arrogance ... confirms that the United States of America, along with the tyrants of arrogance, is a threat to the security and stability of the Islamic Republic,” the statement said.

The United States embassy in Lebanon said that the State Department on Sunday ordered the departure of family members and non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Lebanon, after Washington launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

"On June 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of State ordered the departure of family members and non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Lebanon due to the volatile and unpredictable security situation in the region," said a statement on the U.S. embassy website.

An Israeli airstrike has targeted the transmission building of Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV on the heights of the Toumat Niha area, which overlooks West Bekaa and the southern region of Iqlim al-Tuffah, state-run National News Agency reported on Sunday.

President Joseph Aoun said Sunday that Lebanon does not want to “pay the price of more wars” and that “there is no national interest” in joining the Israel-Iran war after the U.S. strikes on Iran’s key nuclear sites.

“Lebanon, with its leadership, parties and people, realizes today more than ever that it has preciously paid for the wars that erupted on its soil and in the region, and it does not want to pay any further and there is no national interest in that,” Aoun said.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said that Lebanon needs to stay away from any possible regional spillover from the conflict, after the U.S. targeted Iran's main nuclear sites.

“It is increasingly important for us to adhere strictly to the supreme national interest, which is the need to avoid Lebanon being ... drawn into the ongoing regional confrontation in any way,” Salam said in a post on X.

A former bodyguard for Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the slain leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah, was killed Saturday in an Israeli strike in Iran, a Hezbollah official said.

For more than a week, Israel has been carrying out waves of air attacks on Iranian targets in the foes' worst confrontation in history.
