Drone strike near Dubai airport as Iran’s president apologises to Gulf nations for attacks

There's been a drone strike near Dubai International Airport - the BBC has verified video that shows the attack.

Meanwhile, there is confusion about the status of flights going in and out of Dubai.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has apologised to neighbouring states and says Tehran will not attack them "unless attacked first", in a video address broadcast on state media.

Shortly after Pezeshkian's address aired, Qatar said it had intercepted a missile attack.

Israel says it has begun a new "broad wave" of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure.

And in Lebanon, large-scale evacuations have been carried out in the suburbs of southern Beirut, where Israel says it has been striking Hezbollah.

US oil firms evacuating staff from Iraq

Foreign oil companies in the Middle East have started evacuating their staff out of oilfields in Iraq.

Footage gathered by Reuters news agency shows staff crossing through the Safwan border into Kuwait.

A security guard at US oil firm Halliburton, Mohamed Ta'meh, told the agency that “due to the security situation in Iraq, foreign staff working at the oil stations (in Iraq) have left for the state of Kuwait, and from there they will see where they will go.”

Oil fields have been a target during the week-long conflict, with another US oil firm, HKN Energy, halting production at a site in Iraqi Kurdistan on Friday following reports from the regional government of an attack by "outlaw groups in Iraq".

The IDF says it "continues to degrade" Hezbollah capabilities in Lebanon.

Overnight, it completed an "additional wave of strikes targeting rocket launchers, weapons storage facilities, and additional military sites" in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa valley, the Israeli military writes in a post on Telegram.

The IDF says commanders of Hezbollah's Radwan Force were also struck, as well as two Radwan command centres in the area of Majdal Sel in southern Lebanon.

The Radwan Force is Hezbollah's elite commando unit.

The IDF says "steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians" before the attack.

Separate photos we shared earlier also show charred buildings and piles of rubble in Beirut's capital, Lebanon. The IDF has issued mass evacuation orders in recent days, resulting in thousands being displaced from their homes.
