After Lebanon-Israel military talks broke down the previous day and Israel refused to withdraw troops, HEZBOLLAH said on May 30 it launched multiple strikes on Israeli forces. Israeli forces expanded operations in southern Lebanon the same day, causing multiple casualties.

Israel's Channel 12 reported Hezbollah launched more than 100 rockets and drones.

President Trump said Saturday he is considering cancelling a series of concerts planned to mark the United States' 250th anniversary after multiple performers withdrew, and replacing them with a speech and rally. Poison frontman Bret Michaels was the fifth musician to pull out on Friday. The Freedom 250 concerts were scheduled June 25–July 10 on the National Mall; Trump posted on his social platform that he may host a speech and rally instead.
