💢 An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Saksaqiyeh, southern Lebanon, killed an entire family of six, journalist Courtney Bonneau reported from the scene.

At least nine people have already been killed across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley on Saturday, including three Lebanese army soldiers whose personnel carrier was struck by an Israeli drone.

The incident occurred as the Lebanese army commander arrived in Islamabad to meet Field Marshal Asim Munir for Iran-U.S. negotiations.

BREAKING:

Iran is striking Israel after Israel attacked civilian areas in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, earlier today.

Not out of nowhere.
Not without warning.

Iran warned that an attack on Beirut would trigger a response.

Israel bombed Beirut anyway

Now that response has begun

🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory.

Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.

After destroying almost all residential buildings in Gaza with impunity, Israel is committing the same war crimes in Lebanon.

HAPPENING NOW 🇦🇱 Thousands of Albanians are marching under a single banner: Albania Is Not for Sale.

They are facing down the full weight of a government that rewrote its own laws to hand the coastline to Donald Trump’s son-in-law: Jared Kushner.

BREAKING:

Israel is now dropping bombs on residential buildings in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital city.

Not military bases.

Not battlefields.

Apartment blocks full of civilians.

Israel massacred this family today in Jouaiyya, South Lebanon — dropping a bomb on their home as they slept.

🚨Since dawn, Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 13 Palestinians and wounded more than 35 others.

5 people were killed and 17 injured after an Israeli airstrike struck a police post at Al-Nass Junction in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis.

Hours later, 4 more Palestinians were killed when a vehicle near Al-Buraq School in western Gaza City was targeted and bombed.

The latest attacks come despite the so-called “ceasefire” in October, which continues to see Palestinians killed across the Strip on a daily basis.

¿Si somos tan incompetentes, por qué bloquean? ¿Por qué no deja que me derrumbe por mí mismo? Porque no tienen ningún interés en que #Cuba mejore. Eso es mentira. Ellos quieren apoderarse de Cuba, como han querido apoderarse de otros lugares del mundo, para sacar sus recursos, para apoderarse de ellos y no para mejorar la vida de la gente.

An Israeli soldier testifies UNDER OATH that October 7th was a FALSE FLAG, and that he was ordered to STAND DOWN from 5:20am to 9am the day of the attack.

You could face up to 5 years in prison for sharing this video in Israel.

Thousands of Colombian youth marched through Bogotá on Monday — one day after Colombia’s closely contested first-round presidential vote — in support of left-wing presidential candidate Iván Cepeda.

Cepeda is running against Trump-backed right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella. A runoff election is scheduled for June 21.

🇨🇺 Major international companies are rushing to exit Cuba ahead of a June 5 deadline imposed under President Trump’s new secondary sanctions regime targeting GAESA, the military-run conglomerate that the U.S. government says controls at least 40% of Cuba’s economy.

🔹 Canadian hotel giant Blue Diamond is withdrawing from Cuba entirely, ending operations at 62 hotels across the island and abandoning one of the country’s largest tourism networks.

🔹 Spanish hotel operators are pulling back. Iberostar has reportedly ended management agreements tied to GAESA, while Meliá, Cuba’s largest foreign hotel operator, has cut its operations roughly in half after reporting a 68% drop in profits.

🔹 Canadian mining giant Sherritt International—one of Cuba's largest foreign investors— indefinitely suspended direct participation on the island following U.S. sanctions against its joint-venture partner, Moa Nickel S.A. Sherritt initially moved to dissolve the partnership entirely, but reversed course on May 19, opting to maintain a freeze on operations while exploring alternative options.

🔹 Global shipping firms CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd have suspended cargo bookings to and from Cuba, a move that could affect roughly 60% of the island’s maritime shipping traffic.

🔹 Airlines including Air Canada and Russia’s Rossiya have suspended service amid collapsing tourism and worsening fuel shortages.

Under Trump’s May 1 executive order, foreign companies, banks, and individuals that continue doing business with GAESA after June 5 risk U.S. sanctions themselves, including potential exclusion from the U.S. financial system. Faced with that threat, many firms are choosing to leave Cuba altogether.

🇨🇺 Cuba Calls New U.S. Sanctions a Dangerous, Premeditated Escalation

The Cuban government defended its military-linked business conglomerate, the Grupo de Administración Empresarial (GAE), after the U.S. designated it a sanctions target in an executive order on May 1, calling the move the “most intense, disproportionate and dangerous escalation in the recent history” of U.S.-Cuba relations.

Executive Order 14404 targets the GAE and introduces secondary sanctions against any foreign actor conducting business with the group, with particular pressure on financial institutions.

Criticism of the GAE has become central to U.S. messaging on Cuba, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio among those characterizing it as a shadowy, corrupt network hoarding billions - a characterization repeated by numerous news outlets including the BBC.

Havana’s response, published in state outlet Granma, describes the GAE as a legitimate economic engine born during the “Special Period” - Cuba’s severe economic crisis following the Soviet collapse - to generate hard currency and fund social programs.

The government calls U.S. claims a fabrication designed by Cuban-American far-right ideologues in Florida to suffocate the nation’s economy, discredit its leadership, and lay the groundwork for military aggression. Cuba says the GAE has served as a key instrument in its fight against what it calls an economic war, having funded thousands of housing units, school and clinic repairs, and major water and electricity infrastructure.

“The GAE is not an opaque structure, nor parallel to the Cuban State; on the contrary, it has been an articulated response of proven efficiency against the economic blockade that has historically tried to suffocate the Cuban Revolution,” the statement read.

The GAE is widely understood to be managed by Cuba’s Revolutionary Armed Forces.
