Israeli Strikes Kill 31 in Southern Lebanon, UN Condemns UAE Nuclear Plant Attack

Israeli forces issued forced displacement orders for several villages in southern Lebanon and conducted air strikes that killed at least 31 people, according to the country's state-run National News Agency. The strikes wounded 40 others, including multiple women and children. In Burj Shemali, 14 people died and 16 were injured.

The UN Security Council issued a statement condemning a May 17 drone attack on the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates. The council described the attack as a flagrant violation of international law. Authorities in Abu Dhabi reported that a drone struck a generator outside the plant's inner perimeter, causing a fire but not affecting radiological safety levels.

The UAE Foreign Ministry called on Iraq to prevent hostile acts originating from its territory.

Hezbollah stated it carried out 32 attacks on Israeli forces on Tuesday, targeting troops near Zawtar al-Sharqiya. The group reported strikes on tanks, armored vehicles, and an Iron Dome platform. A civil defence worker identified as Kamel Youssef Zein was killed in a double-tap air strike in Qaraoun while attempting to aid a wounded motorcyclist.

Lebanon's General Directorate of Civil Defence said the second strike hit the same location after Zein began providing first aid.
