Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-05-28 at 18:02
HEADLINES
Iran Downs US Drone Near Bushehr
Hezbollah Drone Strikes Iron Dome Batteries
Israel Cuts Ties With UN Secretary General
The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Iranian Retaliation, Tasnim news agency reports the downing of an American unmanned aerial vehicle near Bushehr in southern Iran, saying it was accomplished with an air defense missile.
In Regional Impacts, explosions were heard near the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas, with Tasnim later saying the sounds came from an exchange of fire used as a warning to ships in the strait. Iranian state media also reported a missile launch operation from Iran’s southern region toward specified targets, though the destination remained unclear. Iran’s state television said a US aircraft was destroyed in Jam governorate in Bushehr, though there was no confirmation from Washington. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps later said it targeted a US airbase after US strikes reportedly targeting an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz, a development that heightened tensions and dampened hopes for a peace deal while oil prices rose. Separately, Tasnim reported that the explosions and gunfire were related to an exchange of fire against illegal ships in the Strait. Lebanon’s health ministry reported 3,324 deaths and 10,027 injuries since the start of the current round of fighting.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah released footage showing FPV drone strikes on two Iron Dome batteries at the Ramim (Hounin) Barracks in northern Israel on May 23. A summary of Israel’s offensive on Thursday noted airstrikes across southern Lebanon at sites including Kafra, Tyre, Doueir, Choukin, Haboush, Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain, Burj Qalaway, Ghandouriyeh, Kfar Dounine, Mifdoun, Touline, Ghassaniyeh, Haris, Shehour, Maarakeh, Ali al-Taher, Deir ez-Zahrani, Qatrani, Wadi Barghaz, Qiaa (Sidon), Yahmar al-Shaqif, Kfarjouz, Mansouri, Zibqin, Ramadiyeh, Burj al-Shamali, Tebnine, Shaqra, Qleileh, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, and the area between Mifdoun and Zawtar al-Sharqiyah; Beqaa included Sohmor; the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahiyeh) included Choueifat; drone strikes targeted Jebchit, Adloun, Toul, Mifdoun, Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain, Haris, Deir ez-Zahrani, Zebdine, Zefta, Haboush, Aba, and the Zefta–Deir ez-Zahrani Road; and artillery shelling occurred at Kfar Roummane, Mahmoudiyeh, Rihan, Debbine, Srifa, Naffakhiyeh, Blat, Mansouri, Jdeidet Marjeyoun, Hanniyeh, and Kfartebnit. The IRGC’s official channel published a message invoking religious language, adding to the regional tension.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, The Wall Street Journal reports that American officials say discussions with Iran indicate that the war between Israel and Hezbollah should end.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Channel 14 poll shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud leading with 33 seats, while a joint Bennett-Lapid list has slipped to 15 seats; Gadi Eisenkot reportedly matches Bennett in projected seats and leads him in prime ministerial favorability, though Netanyahu’s own favorability as PM has declined despite Likud’s lead. The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced it has decided to sever all ties with the office of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres over allegations Israel denounced as baseless and biased, and said it will wait until a new UN Secretary-General is appointed before resuming engagement.
In Israeli Economy and Business, MUTRA, the acclaimed kosher restaurant in North Miami Beach, has made history as the first fully kosher restaurant in the world to earn a Michelin Star, led by Chef Raz Shabtai, blending elevated Israeli-inspired cuisine with strict kosher standards and seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients. UJA-Federation of New York purchased 20,000 bags of the Israeli snack Bamba in response to the Park Slope Food Coop Israeli boycott vote, with distribution planned at the Celebrate Israel parade on Sunday.
In Uplifting News, missing Toronto Jewish teenage girl Esther was found after two weeks. The 14-year-old had been the subject of community-driven searches and a $25,000 reward, with volunteers and police coordinating efforts; she was located after a tip, and her family had urged her to come home.
