Iran war news LIVE: The Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom said it provided treatment to two men in the shooting at a petrol station near the town of Kochav Yair. “A man of about 30 was found with no signs of life and penetrating wounds,” the emergency service said, according to Al Jazeera. Another man was “evacuated in serious condition”.

The Israeli army said “following reports of multiple shooting incidents soldiers … were dispatched to the areas of Sal’it and Tzur Yitzhak a short while ago”.

Israeli police confirmed that one person involved in the deadly shooting was shot dead.

“The terrorist killed in the attack was an Arab-Israeli citizen,” one security official told Al Jazeera.

New reports suggest there was at least three shootings, including an attack at a petrol station. One person was killed and at least six others were wounded.

Israel’s police said they had killed at least one attacker and are carrying out searches for additional assailants. Residents in the area were instructed to stay at home.

An Israeli police spokesperson says one person has been killed in a shooting attack targeting civilians at a petrol station near the entrance to Kokhav Ya’ir.

Police are searching for others after an armed suspect believed to have taken part in the attack was “neutralised”, the spokesperson said.

According to medical officials, four civilians were wounded, with one in serious condition and three others in moderate condition.

The Israeli military claims to have killed a Hamas commander, allegedly among the fighters responsible for the infiltration into the Kisufim area on October 7, 2023.

In a statement on Telegram, the army said Sakr Abu Karim, a Hamas Nukhba cell commander, was killed during a strike on the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

Another Hamas member who served as a “communications operative” was also killed in the attack, it said.

Greece has arrested a Palestinian man suspected of having links to Hamas and of “planning terrorist acts”.

The 37-year-old was arrested on Saturday on the island of Crete where he was working in a hotel, media reports said.

“According to the information available so far, he was linked to individuals recently arrested in Cyprus for terrorism-related offences,” the police said in a statement, adding he allegedly “received training” by Hamas.

Greek media reported the man may have been targeting an Israeli cruise ship expected to arrive in Crete on Tuesday.

State TV ERT said the man rented a flat in central Athens where police found laboratory equipment and chemicals that could be used to make a bomb. Investigations are ongoing, the police said.

The Iranian envoy to Mexico has said that the Iranian football team should enter the US on matchday during the upcoming FIFA World Cup and exit the same day after the game.

Because of the US-Israeli war, Iran’s World Cup team is now in Mexico, abandoning its original plans to train in Tucson, in the US state of Arizona.

“We can enter in the morning, and we must leave the same day,” Ambassador Abolfazl Pasandideh told reporters, citing US visa restrictions.

The Iranian squad is scheduled to play three group-stage matches in the United States, including two matches in Los Angeles, California, and one in Seattle, Washington.

Israeli warplanes launched an attack targeting the town of Srifa in the Tyre district.

Iran raised passenger train ticket prices by 21% on Sunday, according to the secretary of the railway passenger transport companies’ association.

The official said the rise was due to higher maintenance, operating, spare parts, service and wage costs.

British Airways warned that fares would rise further as the Iran war continued to disrupt jet fuel supplies, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

“There’s no getting away from it if fuel goes up, fares have to go up,” Chief Executive Sean Doyle said in an interview on the sidelines of the International Air Transport Association’s annual meeting in Rio de Janeiro.

Jet fuel prices have doubled since the war began in February, and the Strait of Hormuz remained closed, disrupting a passage that accounts for about 40% of Europe’s jet fuel, according to the report.

Sunday marks 100 days into a war that US President Donald Trump said was going to finish “very fast”.

Despite a ceasefire agreed on April 8, the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, sporadic fire continues, and talks have repeatedly collapsed.

The Wafa news agency reported that the Palestinian fisherman was killed off the coast of Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Citing local sources, Wafa said that Israeli naval vessels opened fire with machine guns on a fishing boat, killing Muhammad Musa Abu Jiab.

Iran’s hardline newspaper Kayhan wrote on Sunday that a reported US effort to secure a resolution condemning the Islamic Republic at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors should be met with a “decisive and regret-inducing” response.

The paper again called IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi a “spy,” accusing him of aiding efforts to identify Iranian strategic sites for potential US and Israeli attacks.

Lebanon’s National News Agency said that the “anti-government” drone targeted the town of Al-Shahabiya, wounding two people.

The victims were transferred to the Hiram Hospital, it added.

The Israeli military says air raid alerts have been activated due to a “hostile aircraft intrusion” in the areas of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali in northern Israel.

It added that two rockets that crossed from Lebanon towards the country’s territory were intercepted.

The aircraft has been identified over an area where Israeli troops are operating in southern Lebanon in the morning, according to a military update.

The aircraft triggered sirens in the Israeli border areas of Metula and Misgav Am, the statement said.

It added that the “incident has concluded” with no injuries reported.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says an Israeli raid on the town of As-Saksakiyah on Saturday morning has killed at least two people.

The ministry added that 22 people were wounded in the attack including three children and a woman.

The Israeli military says that four of its reserve soldiers were moderately injured in a drone attack in southern Lebanon, according to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority.

US-Iran war LIVE: Unfreezing of Iranian assets by the United States has been one of the constant demands of Tehran while negotiating a peace deal to end the ongoing war. However, the US' treasury department seems to have different plans for those assets.

US treasury secretary Scott Bessent is considering using Iranian assets to help America's allies in the Gulf to recover from the losses incurred due to attacks by Iran during the war, CBS reported Saturday citing a source familiar with what Bessent is thinking.

The source also said that the US treasury is exploring avenues to ensure that Iranian assets can be accessed for recovery and reconstruction in case Tehran causes further damage.

Taking a step further in this direction, Bessent has also asked the department to take a comprehensive measure of the repair costs by the US' Gulf allies since the war began on February 28, the source said. Read more here.

Hundreds of people waving the flag of Palestine marched in the UK city of Manchester to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and call on the British government to end its support for the state of Israel.

Protesters walked through the streets of Manchester, carrying flags and chanting slogans supporting the Palestinian people. They also raised a large banner that read “End the Israeli Occupation”.

The march, dubbed “Manchester Stands with Palestine … Break the Chain of Killing”, coincided with the 59th anniversary of the Naksa of June 1967, during which Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

The cost of supplying a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder has risen to over ₹1,600, leaving an under-recovery of about ₹700 on each cylinder, which is absorbed by the government and public sector marketing companies, the ministry of petroleum and natural gas said.

The jump follows a sharp rise in the international benchmark, with Saudi Aramco's Contract Price for LPG up about 46% since February due to the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the ministry, the blended Saudi CP for a 50:50 propane-butane mix stood at USD 542.50 per tonne in February, before the disruption. After Hormuz tightened Mideast Gulf exports, the April contract rose to USD 775 per tonne and has edged up further to USD 790 per tonne in June.

Propane CP climbed 39 per cent and butane 52 per cent in the same period. The landed cost of the imported molecule rose, pushing the import-linked supply cost of a domestic cylinder above ₹1,600.

Despite the spike, Indian households continue to pay among the lowest cooking gas prices globally, the ministry said.

US consumers haven’t stopped spending money since the Iran war drove up fuel prices, but many shoppers are reassessing what they buy and where, according to company executives and retail analysts.

The behaviour changes observed so far are subtle, such as altered routines for buying gasoline and fewer visits to clothing and furniture stores. They are also uneven across the population. During recent earnings calls with analysts, executives from American mainstays like Walmart, McDonald's, and Dollar General cited overall shopper resilience as well as noticeable cutbacks by lower-income customers.

But the new signs of strain cited by major retailers as generous income tax refunds helped shore up their sales, making some economists and analysts think they will see a wider retrenchment when the refunds are gone, and consumers face the cumulative impact of more expensive gas and higher prices for food, clothing, insurance and other goods and services.

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs has called for an immediate halt to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and described the deadly assault on the Lebanese military convoy as “a blatant violation of the sovereignty, security, and stability” of the country.

Fouad Majali, a spokesperson for the Jordanian Foreign Ministry, sent condolences to Lebanon’s government and the families of the victims and reiterated Amman’s “unwavering support” for the country, according to the official Petra news agency.

Majali “also stressed Jordan’s support for the Lebanese government’s efforts to assert its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, reactivate its national institutions, and ensure that weapons are solely in the hands of the state”, the agency reported.

Etihad Airways is ordering more widebody planes as the Middle East carrier expects to be flying about 8% more than a year ago by June 15, CEO Antonoaldo Neves said in an interview.

He said on the sidelines of a global gathering of airline CEOs in Brazil on Saturday that the Abu Dhabi carrier is buying widebody planes in the double digits, declining to specify further.

Etihad is restoring flights after making cuts in March as the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran turned regional, raising fuel prices, Neves said.

He said Etihad does not plan to trim costs by cutting flights at the moment.

"The biggest cost we have is an empty plane," he said. "So the way I cut costs is I don't have empty planes."
