A Russian drone crashed in Galati, Romania, on May 29, 2026, injuring two people during an overnight attack on Ukraine. Romanian authorities tracked the drone and scrambled aircraft in response, while NATO officials expressed solidarity. Lower-quality reports indicate impact on a residential building with limited evacuations and a roof fire.
An INSS poll conducted in May 2026 found that 58% of Israelis and 69.5% of Israeli Jews favor deepening military action against Hezbollah, with 57% supporting a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. Israeli strikes have targeted areas including Tyre, causing damage and displacement, while Hezbollah has responded with rockets and drones. Israeli and Lebanese military officials are scheduled to meet at the Pentagon on Friday.
