Israeli Channel 13 reported that the country‘s political leadership has issued new limits on military operations in southern Lebanon, allowing action within the „yellow line“ against direct threats while prohibiting operations in areas such as Beirut and Tyre.
The channel said the move reflects growing pressure from the Trump administration.

NNA – The Israeli enemy escalated its attacks this afternoon, targeting a vehicle in the town of Maifadoun with a drone, which bombed the area as residents gathered around, before targeting a second vehicle in the town.
A third vehicle was also targeted in the town of Shoukine, bringing the total number of attacks to three. According to initial reports, four civilians were martyred and others wounded.
As regional powers are discussing whether or not Lebanon is included in a deal between Iran and the US, this isn’t necessarily a moment of peace here. In fact, it is a moment of danger, just like it was on April 8, when there were discussions on whether or not Lebanon was going to be included in the deal.
The Israeli prime minister and his military made it clear that it would not be, and later that afternoon it turned into the deadliest day of the war as more than 350 people were killed.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said peacekeepers in southern Lebanon continue to observe extensive Israeli military activity, including “high-density armoured movements, large-scale engineering and demolition works and sustained logistical traffic” in areas near the border.
Dujarric said the UN peacekeeping mission, Unifil, also recorded intensive air activity involving fighter aircraft and drones.

„Just as we witnessed the liberation of Damascus, Aleppo, and Karabakh, God willing, one day we will also witness the liberation of Jerusalem,“ Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said during a speech at a conference.
„Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again,“ Ciftci vowed, and said, „God willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more.“
„Because we have a global leader like Recep Tayyip Erdogan at our helm,“ he said. „A world leader.“

„Türkiye‘s security begins not in Hatay, but in Aleppo, Damascus and Beirut. Neither will we tolerate any faits accompli in our brothers‘ countries, nor will we turn a blind eye to aggression,“ he said, stressing that the country‘s security extends beyond its borders.
President Erdogan also referred to what he described as Israelis’ „delusion of the Promised Land,“ saying Türkiye was fully aware of its ultimate objective.
„By the will of God, we will never allow this,“ he said.
Some of the Palestinian refugee camps are densely populated. About 28,000 Palestinian refugees live in Tyre, according to the UN, and only about one-third have left since the displacement threat was issued.
The Israelis are trying to make it seem as if they’ve given everyone enough warning to safely flee, but the Geneva Convention requires that evacuation routes are safe, that people are given enough time, and that a return route is provided so the occupation does not continue.
Israeli military activities in southern Lebanon do not meet those requirements.
Additional airstrikes hit the area between Deir Qanoun Al Nahr and Abbassiyeh, while the town of Toura was also targeted. Israeli warplanes later carried out a separate strike on Abbassiyeh.
According to local reports, Israeli forces attempted to advance from the Tayr Harfa–Jebbayn axis toward a nearby valley in what appeared to be a move toward the town. The operation coincided with more than 15 airstrikes on Majdal Zoun and Wadi Hassan, as well as intense artillery shelling.
Clashes were reported between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters, involving rocket fire and an explosive drone. The fighting reportedly continued into the night before Israeli forces withdrew from the area.
The Israeli military has deployed white phosphorus, an incendiary substance that can be extremely harmful, over populated areas in Lebanon in its battle against Hezbollah, according to experts, aid groups and visual evidence collected by The New York Times.
Distinctive smoke trails from this type of munition were seen as recently as May 30 in Nabatieh, a city of roughly 40,000, in social media footage verified by The Times, which was filmed as Israeli forces captured Beaufort Castle, a landmark in the area.
Israeli strikes overnight on the historic southern Lebanese city of Tyre, known as Sour in Arabic, killed at least six people, a civil defence source told Middle East Eye on Friday.
One strike near Jabal Amel hospital killed four people, wounded seven others and caused minor damage to the facility, the source said.
A second strike on a residential area killed three people and wounded five, including a child.
The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.
Ärzte ohne Grenzen verurteilt den Luftangriff der israelischen Armee am 1. Juni in der Nähe des Dschabal-Amel-Krankenhauses in Sour. Nach Angaben des Gesundheitsministeriums sind bislang vier Menschen getötet und 127 verletzt worden, darunter 39 Mitarbeitende des Krankenhauses, das von Ärzte ohne Grenzen unterstützt wird.
Vier der verletzten Mitarbeitenden befinden sich in kritischem Zustand und werden auf der Intensivstation behandelt. Die Gesamtzahl der Toten und Verletzten könnte noch steigen, aus den Trümmern werden noch immer Menschen geborgen.
Der Angriff verursachte schwere Schäden am Dschabal-Amel-Krankenhaus, unter anderem an der stationären Abteilung, der Radiologie und der Intensivstation. Die Wand eines Operationssaals wurde schwer beschädigt, und das medizinische Team musste die Hälfte der Patient*innen von der Intensivstation verlegen, um ihre Sicherheit zu gewährleisten
MSF condemns the airstrike carried out by the Israeli army on the evening of 1 June in the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital, which we support, in Sour (Tyre). According to the Ministry of Public Health, the attack has so far resulted in four deaths and 127 injuries, including 39 hospital staff. Among the injured staff, four are in critical condition and remain under treatment in intensive care. Bodies are still being recovered from the rubble, and the total number of dead and injured could still rise.
The strike caused severe damage to Jabal Amel Hospital itself, including its inpatient department, radiology department and intensive care unit. One wall of an operating room has been severely damaged, leaving a large hole, and the medical team had to urgently transfer half of the remaining patients in the intensive care unit to another ward to ensure their safety.
