IDF spokesman says Lebanese high school student jokingly asked for school to be bombed over Hezbollah arms there

The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee says a high school student in Lebanon, from Shuwayfat High School in the Beirut area, wrote to him on Facebook, jokingly asking him to bomb her school because it allegedly contains Hezbollah weapons. The student was apparently trying to avoid taking exams in the school, Hebrew media reported.

After the message circulated on social media, the school issues a statement saying that any student who harms the school or is involved in actions that violate the law “exposes themselves to legal measures.” The statement adds that an investigation –apparently regarding the identity of the student — is ongoing.

Adraee himself writes on X that “my message to the school administration is: do not search for the boy or girl [who wrote the message] in order to punish them. Speak with the students through dialogue — it may be that something is troubling or pressuring them. To young people and children I say: tell the truth, but report to your parents or the relevant authorities any danger or anything that disturbs you. These are violations by Hezbollah against you, against your future and your lives.”
