Israel launches its first bombs on eastern Lebanon since the start of the Gaza War.
Since the commencement of the Gaza War, Israel has struck Hezbollah locations in eastern Lebanon. Israeli forces attacked the area surrounding Baalbek at least twice in quick succession. In response to Hezbollah downing one of its armed drones in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army claims that it launched the strikes. Targeting Israeli military positions near the border, Hezbollah retaliated with a flurry of rocket launches.
Claudia Sheinbaum was elected Mexico's first female president.
Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to win the poll by a wide margin. She is a former climate scientist and Mayor of Mexico City. She is likely to succeed her political mentor, outgoing President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador. Supporters of the president-elect gathered in large numbers in the capital to celebrate Sheinbaum's overwhelming victory. Claudia Sheinbaum is estimated to win Sunday's presidential election with 58.3 to 60.7 percent of the vote, according to the INE's official rapid count. It put her nearest challenger, Xochitl Galvez, who leads a coalition of primarily conservative parties, at 26.6-28.8 percent. The official result will be announced on June 8. Speaking to supporters, Sheinbaum said her competitors, Galvez and Maynez, had called her and acknowledged her victory.
