In a post by the Lebanese presidency on X, Aoun said Lebanon is committed to preserving peace, adding “anyone who fuels [division] provides a service to Israel”.
Aoun highlighted that Lebanon has lost more than 3,000 people during the conflict, with about one million displaced and thousands of homes destroyed.
“There is no horizon for ending this situation,” he said, adding it’s the state’s duty to protect its citizens and “there is no other option but negotiation”.

NNA – Israeli enemy warplanes on Wednesday carried out a strike on a previously threatened house in Kharayeb and launched additional raids on Shhour and Kouthariyet El-Riz, including a second strike on the latter.
In a major escalation, Israeli aircraft have so far carried out six airstrikes targeting the vicinity of the Prophet Ezekiel Shrine in the town of Blat.
The Israeli military also issued urgent evacuation warnings to residents of the towns of Jbaa, Houmine El Faouqa and Arki.
Meanwhile, a residential building on the road to Miyeh w Miyeh was evacuated after one of its residents reportedly received a phone call urging occupants to leave the premises.
Separately, Lebanon’s Health Ministry Emergency Operations Center announced that an Israeli strike on the town of Housh in the Tyre district killed six people, including four Syrian nationals and two Palestinians.
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.

GAZA, May 31, 2026 (WAFA) – The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to 72,939 Palestinians killed and 172,927 injured since October 2023, medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday.

The Israeli combat soldier saw his teammates yelling in celebration, congratulating one another. They had just struck a vehicle of Palestinians driving near the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip, killing everyone inside.
The reservist said scenes like this had become common after a fragile ceasefire took effect in October. In the weeks he was stationed in Gaza, he said, he saw soldiers relishing the chance to go after those who crossed — or came close to crossing — the so-called yellow line that divides the strip into Israeli-controlled and Palestinian areas.
“It was a jungle,” the soldier, in his 20s, told The Associated Press. “After the ceasefire, the order was: If someone crosses the line, you shoot them.”
Lebanon‘s Health Ministry says the death toll from Israel‘s military campaign has climbed to 3,412, with 10,269 people wounded between March 2 and May 31.
The latest figures came as Israeli attacks continued to hit civilian infrastructure across southern Lebanon. Earlier, a strike near Hiram Hospital in the city of Tyre injured 13 members of the hospital staff, according to Lebanon‘s National News Agency, citing the Health Ministry.
The ministry said the attack caused “serious damage” to the hospital, which had already suffered damage in previous Israeli strikes.

Israelische Soldaten seien „auf den Gipfel von Beaufort zurückgekehrt und haben dort erneut die israelische Flagge gehisst“, erklärte Verteidigungsminister Israel Katz. Er bezog sich dabei auf die frühere Einnahme der Burg durch Israel im Libanonkrieg 1982. Israelische Truppen hatten die Kreuzfahrerburg damals eingenommen und als Stützpunkt genutzt. Erst im Jahr 2000 bei ihrem Abzug aus dem Libanon zogen sie sich von dort wieder zurück.
Beaufort Castle, known in Arabic as Qalaat al-Shaqif, is a strategic vantage point overlooking large parts of southern Lebanon and northern Israel. It is located about 5km from the major southern city of Nabatieh.
Israeli troops previously captured the castle in 1982 and held it until they withdrew from Lebanon in 2000.
Lebanon‘s Health Ministry says Israeli attacks killed 16 people and wounded 34 others over the past 24 hours, adding to the mounting toll from the conflict.
The ministry said the number of people killed in Lebanon since hostilities escalated on March 2 has now reached 3,371, while the total number of wounded has risen to 10,129.
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 72,938, with 172,919 people wounded since 7 October 2023, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The ministry added that Israeli strikes have killed 929 Palestinians and wounded 2,811 others since a nominal ceasefire took effect on 11 October.

JERUSALEM, May 27, 2026 (WAFA) – Israel, the occupying state, launched on Wednesday morning an online system for the registration of the territory of the occupied State of Palestine (occupied West Bank).
Israel launched the “Land Registry and Settlement of Rights” online system, codenamed “ Grenade,” amid open endorsement from Jewish supremacist Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Strook, who described it as “a central pillar in applying sovereignty in the territory and strengthening Israeli hold on Judea and Samaria.”
Israel uses the Jewish nationalist name “Judea and Samaria” to refer to the occupied West Bank to reinforce its bogus claims to the territory and to give them a veneer of historical and religious legitimacy.
The project aims to register nearly 58 per cent of land in Area C, equivalent to around 35 per cent of the occupied West Bank, excluding occupied East Jerusalem, as part of what Israel describes as a “settlement of property rights” process.
Israel is escalating in Gaza “because it knows it will not encounter severe opposition”, and in Lebanon “because so far the world is letting Israel get away with it”.
The Lebanese death toll from Israeli strikes has risen to 3,324 since March 2, Lebanon‘s Ministry of Public Health said on Thursday, as Israeli strikes intensified across southern Lebanon.
Another 10,027 people have been wounded since March 2, according to the ministry.
“At this point, we are fully in control of 60 percent of the territory of the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu said during a conference hosted by the pre-military Ein Prat leadership academy.
“My directive is to get to… 70 percent,” he added.
When audience members shouted in support of full Israeli control over Gaza, Netanyahu replied: “We’re going in order. First 70 percent… we’ll start with that.”

As part of the October 2025 deal, Israeli troops withdrew to the “yellow line” that runs roughly parallel to Gaza’s coastline and cuts off large chunks of territory at the northern and southern ends of the enclave, giving Israel control of 53% of the Gaza Strip. Since then, they have encroached further west and now effectively control over 60% of the territory.

The Israeli army said on Thursday that it has carried out further attacks on Lebanon’s capital city of Beirut, following earlier strikes in southern Lebanon which have killed at least 13 people.
A Lebanese security source said the strike hit an area near Beirut’s southern suburbs, but it was not immediately clear what the target was.
