Israeli Strike Kills Man in South Lebanon
The Lebanese health ministry said an Israeli strike killed a man in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, the latest attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
An "Israeli enemy drone" struck a car in the coastal district of Tyre, the ministry said.
It was the third consecutive day of Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Israel said it killed two Hezbollah members over the past two days.
Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon despite the November truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war.
Lebanon has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw its remaining troops.

UN Calls for Independent Probe into Civilians Harmed Trying to Get Food in Gaza
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday slammed as "unacceptable" the deaths of Palestinians seeking food aid in Gaza, a spokesman said, calling the loss of life in the territory "unthinkable". "The Secretary-General continues to call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for the perpetrators to be held to account," UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters. "We are witnessing unthinkable loss of life in Gaza (and) the secretary-general condemns the loss of lives and injuries of Palestinians seeking aid," he said. "It is unacceptable civilians are risking and in several instances losing their lives just trying to get food." At least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire near a food distribution site in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health authorities said, in the third day of chaos and bloodshed to affect the aid operation. A spokesperson for the International Committee of the Red Cross told Reuters that its field hospital in Rafah received 184 casualties, adding that 19 of those were declared dead upon arrival, and eight died of their wounds shortly after. The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation launched its first distribution sites last week in an effort to alleviate widespread hunger amongst Gaza's war-battered population, most of whom have had to abandon their homes to flee fighting. The Foundation's aid plan, which bypasses traditional aid groups, has come under fierce criticism from the United Nations and established charities which say it does not follow humanitarian principles. The private group, which is endorsed by Israel, said it distributed 21 truckloads of food early on Tuesday and that the aid operation was "conducted safely and without incident within the site". However, there have been reports of repeated killings near Rafah as crowds gather to get desperately needed supplies. On Sunday, Palestinian and international officials reported that at least 31 people were killed and dozens more injured. On Monday, three more Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli fire. The Israeli military has denied targeting civilians gathering for aid and called reports of deaths during Sunday's distribution "fabrications" by Hamas.

Strict permit checks, heat safety rules in focus ahead of Hajj
MAKKAH: Pilgrims without a Nusuk card will not be granted access to the Grand Mosque, the holy sites or transportation services during this year's Hajj, Saudi authorities have said. Speaking at a meeting with heads of official Hajj missions during the 49th Grand Hajj Symposium in Jeddah, Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq Al-Rabiah highlighted the importance of adhering to movement regulations to protect pilgrims and enhance their spiritual experience. He described the Nusuk card as a 'fundamental regulatory tool to ensure orderly performance of the pilgrimage and prevent violations,' according to the Saudi Press Agency. Addressing concerns about extreme weather, the minister advised pilgrims to remain in their tents on the Day of Arafah from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to avoid heat-related illnesses. He warned that uncoordinated group movements compromise safety and disrupt the flow of pilgrims. The Day of Arafah, the most significant day of Hajj, falls on Thursday, June 5 this year. Al-Rabiah added that pilgrims must not walk from Arafat to Muzdalifah and should use designated transport systems instead. He said that effective crowd management and transportation plans are essential for safety and require collective compliance. Al-Rabiah added that this Hajj season will see stricter enforcement of permit regulations, in line with the Kingdom's commitment to a safe, organized and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage. The Nusuk card, issued by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, is a mandatory ID and entry pass for pilgrims and workers at the holy sites. In addition to identification, it aids logistics, facilitates communication with Hajj missions, grants access to schedules and services, and allows pilgrims to submit feedback. It also helps authorities monitor crowd movement and send alerts to ensure a safe and organized pilgrimage. Pilgrims receive the card through their service provider, which is responsible for its distribution. A digital version is available via the official Nusuk app, but it does not replace the printed card, which must be carried at all times. According to the ministry, the card expires at the end of the Hajj season, with all data erased. However, pilgrims may keep the physical card as a souvenir and proof of completing Hajj.
