Tensions Escalate: Projectiles From Lebanon Intercepted by Israel
The military said no injuries were reported after sirens sounded in several northern areas and a suspicious aerial target later fell near the border.
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the IAF intercepted two projectiles from Lebanon, hours after President Donald Trump announced a de-escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Trump claimed on Truth Social that Hezbollah and Israel agreed to stop fighting, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later warned that Israel will strike Beirut if Hezbollah continues attacks.
Amid the diplomatic push, Hezbollah rejected a partial ceasefire offer sparing Beirut, demanding full cessation instead, while the IDF announced that the Captain, Ori Yosef Silvester, was killed in a drone strike in southern Lebanon.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to block Bab Mandeb if Israel continues strikes in Lebanon and Gaza, according to Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani.
Nationwide Ultra-Orthodox protests erupted against the arrest of suspected IDF draft evaders, with demonstrators paralyzing key roads and blocking railway tracks, adding domestic pressure to current military operations.
After the sound of the sirens in various areas of northern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces intercepted two missiles coming from Lebanon. Hizbollah confirmed attack on tanks, with rockets and missiles.
The Israeli army announced early Tuesday morning that air defenses had been activated in response to two projectiles fired from Lebanon. Debris landed near the Israeli border with Lebanon; there were no casualties. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was targeting Israeli targets in southern Lebanon.
