Israel's military said a missile was launched from Yemen and intercepted, and the Houthis said they targeted 'sensitive' sites in the Jaffa area and declared a 'complete and absolute ban' on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, saying any Israeli vessel would be a military target. An Israeli military official said the Houthis fired two missiles; no casualties were reported.
Israel's military said it hit military targets in western and central Iran, with blasts reported in Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz, and later confirmed striking the Karun petrochemical complex in Mahshahr; Iran said 15 people were wounded, 14 in Mahshahr, and state TV later said two air-defence personnel were killed. The IRGC said its further missile waves targeted Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases and a Haifa chemical plant, and an Israeli official said Iran had fired nearly 30 missiles since Sunday night.
Hours after an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs, Iran fired about 10 ballistic missiles at northern Israel; the IRGC said it targeted Ramat David air base as 'the source of aggressions' against Lebanon, and Israel's military said all were intercepted or fell in open areas. The IRGC called the attack a warning and threatened broader responses, and Trump said he was calling Netanyahu to tell him not to retaliate.
Netanyahu and Defence Minister Katz said the military struck Hezbollah 'headquarters' in Beirut's southern suburbs in response to the group's fire on Israel. Lebanon's National News Agency said two apartments were hit in the Mreijeh area, killing two people and wounding 11; the number of wounded later rose to 20, including four children.
An Israeli strike destroyed a Lebanese army vehicle on the road between Kfar Tebnit and Khardali, killing Brigadier General Wissam Sabra, Captain Elie Khoury and soldier Hussein Ghozal, the Lebanese army said. Israel's military said the vehicle was in an evacuated combat zone where movement required coordination with it, and that the incident was under investigation.
CENTCOM said it shot down four Iranian attack drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz and struck coastal radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island; the IRGC said the clash began when it fired on one of four U.S.-guided tankers trying to leave the strait. Hours later Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, and CENTCOM said six were intercepted and one missed, with Kuwait reporting debris damage but no casualties.
In a statement carried by Tasnim, the IRGC said its condition for accepting a ceasefire had been a ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, and that Israel must stop its attacks and withdraw behind the international border. Earlier the same day, Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani said the baseline demand was an Israeli withdrawal to pre-war positions.
Kuwait said Iranian drones and missiles hit Terminal 1 at Kuwait International Airport early on June 3, killing one person, injuring 63 and damaging diplomatic missions; its defence ministry said it dealt with 13 ballistic missiles and 17 drones from Iran after dawn. Flights were halted for several hours and Kuwait expelled two Iranian diplomats; the IRGC blamed a malfunctioning U.S. Patriot interceptor, which CENTCOM denied.
CENTCOM said a U.S. aircraft disabled the engine of the unladen Botswana-flagged tanker M/T Lexie, bound for Kharg Island, after its crew ignored warnings. The IRGC said it fired at a 'US-Israeli' vessel and, after a U.S. strike near Qeshm, at U.S. targets including Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain; CENTCOM said two missiles fired at Kuwait fell short, three aimed at Bahrain were intercepted and the Fifth Fleet claim was false.
Netanyahu instructed the military to strike 'terrorist targets' in Beirut's Dahiyeh district, citing repeated Hezbollah ceasefire violations, and the army later told residents to leave, saying it would hit Dahiyeh if Hezbollah kept firing rockets at Israeli towns. Iran's central military command warned residents of northern Israel to flee if Beirut was attacked.
CENTCOM said U.S. forces intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles fired at American troops in Kuwait at 11 p.m. ET on May 31, with no U.S. personnel harmed. The IRGC said it hit the airbase used for a U.S. attack on a telecommunications tower in Hormozgan province; CENTCOM had said it struck Iranian air defences, a ground control station and two attack drones in Goruk and on Qeshm Island over the weekend after Iran downed a U.S. MQ-1 drone.
Israeli forces led by the Golani Brigade captured the Beaufort ridge and its Crusader-era castle near Nabatieh, about 15 km from the border, after crossing the Litani River in an operation the military said had begun days earlier under a news blackout; Defence Minister Israel Katz said troops would stay there as part of Israel's security zone. Israel last held the castle from 1982 until its withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000.
Israeli forces advanced beyond Zawtar al-Sharqiyah and Mayfadoun to the edge of Choukine, which was ordered to evacuate, and pushed north along the ridgeline above Marjayoun and north of Dibbine, in what Al Jazeera described as an attempt to encircle Nabatieh. Lebanon's prime minister accused Israel of a "scorched-earth policy".
Visiting troops near the border, Netanyahu said "our forces crossed the Litani" and were operating in Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and "across the entire front". Troops had been pushing north of the river toward Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Mayfadoun and Zawtar al-Gharbiyah, southeast of Nabatieh, against heavy Hezbollah resistance.
The Israeli army said it carried out a "targeted strike" on an apartment in Choueifat, south of Beirut; Israeli media reported the target as Ali al-Husseini, head of Hezbollah's missile unit, while the Times of Israel named Ali al-Husni of the Iran-linked Imam Hossein Division. Lebanon's Health Ministry said a woman, her baby daughter and a Syrian child were killed and 15 wounded.
CENTCOM said Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that Kuwaiti forces intercepted, calling it an "egregious ceasefire violation". The IRGC said it struck the "American airbase" used in the Bandar Abbas attack; no damage to U.S. facilities was reported, and the GCC condemned the "criminal Iranian attacks" on Kuwait.
Fars reported three explosions east of Bandar Abbas at about 1:30 a.m. local time. CENTCOM said Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones in and near Hormuz, all intercepted, and that U.S. forces prevented a sixth launch from a ground site in Bandar Abbas; a U.S. official said four drones were downed and a ground station about to launch a fifth was hit.
Israel's army ordered residents of Tyre and nearby camps and villages to move north of the Zahrani River, then declared all areas south of the river "combat zones" and struck what it called Hezbollah command centres in Tyre. The Zahrani lies about 25 miles from the border, farther north than the Litani, the previous line.
Israel ordered residents of Nabatieh, the south's second-largest city, to move north of the Zahrani River and issued warnings for at least 50 towns, as troops clashed with Hezbollah along the Litani and pushed toward Zawtar al-Sharqiyah. Lebanon's Health Ministry said strikes killed 31 people, 14 of them in Burj al-Shamali near Tyre.
CENTCOM said U.S. forces carried out self-defense strikes in southern Iran on missile launch sites and boats trying to lay mines, while "using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire"; explosions were reported around Bandar Abbas. An IRGC-affiliated channel named four navy personnel it said were killed south of Larak Island, and Iran's Foreign Ministry called the strikes a "grave violation of the ceasefire".
Netanyahu said he had ordered "an even greater acceleration" of operations to "crush" Hezbollah, saying Israel had killed 600 of its members in recent weeks, and residents fled Beirut's southern suburbs. A strike late that night in the Bekaa Valley killed 12 people, Lebanon's National News Agency said.
An overnight strike on an ambulance centre of the Hezbollah-linked Islamic Health Committee in Hannaouiyeh killed four paramedics, and a strike on Deir Qanoun en-Nahr near Tyre later on Friday killed six people including two Amal-affiliated Risala Scouts rescuers and a Syrian girl, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. The ministry called both attacks violations of international law.
In a statement the Revolutionary Guards said Iran had not yet brought "all the capacities" of the country into action, and that if aggression were repeated the war "will this time spread beyond the region" with blows "in places you cannot even imagine".
An Israeli air strike on Deir Qanoun en-Nahr in the Tyre district killed 10 people including three women and three children, the National News Agency said, and the Health Ministry put Tuesday's toll across the south at 19 dead, with others killed in Nabatieh city and Kfar Sir. Israel had warned residents of about a dozen towns to flee.
Saudi Defence Ministry spokesman Turki al-Maliki said three drones launched from Iraq that morning were intercepted and destroyed after entering Saudi airspace, and that the kingdom reserved the right to respond. Iraq's Foreign Ministry said its air defences had detected no launches and asked Riyadh to share information.
Abu Dhabi said a drone hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah plant in al-Dhafra, causing a fire with no injuries and no radiological impact; the Defence Ministry said three drones crossed the western border and two were intercepted, and on May 19 said they came from Iraqi territory. The IAEA said it was following the situation closely.
Israeli drones hit seven vehicles on Wednesday, three of them on or beside the Beirut-Sidon highway near Jiyeh and Saadiyat about 20km south of the capital, killing 12 people including a woman and her two children, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. Israel said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure after ordering residents of six southern villages to leave.
Testifying to Congress, Hegseth said the ceasefire 'is in effect' but the Pentagon had plans 'to escalate if necessary' and Project Freedom could restart, and acting comptroller Jules Hurst put the war's cost at $29 billion, up $4 billion from April. Leaving for China, Trump said he would be 'thinking about' his red line for ending the ceasefire on the flight.
Kuwait said it arrested four men who confessed to IRGC membership after they tried to reach Bubiyan Island by fishing boat to carry out hostile acts; two escaped after clashing with Kuwaiti forces and a Kuwaiti soldier was wounded. Kuwait handed Iran's ambassador a protest note, while Iran said the four were sailors whose navigation system failed and demanded their release.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told a Tel Aviv conference that Israel had sent Iron Dome batteries and personnel to operate them to the UAE, confirming remarks by UN Ambassador Mike Waltz a day earlier. The UAE did not immediately comment.
