The Times of Israel liveblogged Sunday’s events as they unfolded.
Iran army dismisses ‘delusional’ Trump’s ‘rude, arrogant rhetoric’
Donald Trump’s “arrogant rhetoric” on the war in the Middle East is not hindering Iran’s soldiers, Tehran’s army says, after the US president threatened to raze Iran’s infrastructure.
“The rude, arrogant rhetoric and baseless threats of the delusional US president… have no effect on the continuation of the offensive and crushing operations of the warriors of Islam against the American and Zionist enemies,” says a spokesman for the army’s Khatam Al-Anbiya central command, cited by state media.
Rocket siren in north ends three-hour lull
A rocket alert is sounding in the northern border town of Misgav Am, ending an approximately three-hour break in missiles or drones being fired into Israel by Hezbollah, Houthis, or Iran.
UK reviewing entry for antisemitic rapper Kanye West after outcry
A source in the UK’s Home Office says ministers are reviewing whether to grant antisemitic rapper Kanye West permission to enter the country for a music festival in July.
The announcement comes after the main opposition Conservative Party wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood urging her to ban West from coming to Britain.
West, now known as Ye, has repeatedly promoted Nazism and Jew-hatred. In May 2025, he bought a Super Bowl ad to promote T-shirts with swastikas on them, then released a song titled “Heil Hitler,” to mark the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
Melvin Benn, managing director at organizer Festival Republic, says West will not be given “a platform to extol opinion” while on stage when he plays three nights at the Wireless Festival in London in July as part of a European comeback tour.
Benn described West’s comments as “abhorrent,” but says his music is played on commercial radio stations in the country and available via livestreams and downloads “without comment or vitriol from anyone,” adding that he has a “legal right to come into the country and perform.”
“Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing … and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do,” Benn adds.
Report: Four IDF troops accused of spying for Iran
Four soldiers were arrested several weeks ago on suspicion of spying for Iran, the Ynet news reports.
The report, which contains few details, describes the four as enlisted troops.
According to Ynet, police confirmed the arrests and said the investigation was ongoing, but noted that most details of the case are under a gag-order.
It is not known whether the four are alleged to have been linked.
IMF head says ending Iran war not enough to reverse higher prices, economic slowdown
The war in the Middle East will lead to higher inflation and slower global growth, the head of the International Monetary Fund tells Reuters ahead of a fresh forecast for the world economy planned by the global lender for next week.
Even if the conflict is swiftly resolved, the IMF is set to reduce its forecasts for economic growth and bump up its outlook for inflation, says Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF.
The IMF is expected to release a range of scenarios in its upcoming World Economic Outlook due on April 14. It signaled a possible downgrade in a March 30 blog post, citing the asymmetric shock of the war and tighter financial conditions. Without the war, the IMF had expected a small upgrade in its projection for global growth of 3.3 percent in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027.
“Instead, all roads now lead to higher prices and slower growth,” says Georgieva.
The war has shrunk global oil supply by 13%, she says, rippling through oil and gas shipments and into related supply chains such as helium and fertilizers.
Even a rapid end to hostilities and a fairly rapid recovery will result in a “relatively small” downward revision of the growth forecast and an upward revision of its inflation forecast, she says. If the war is protracted, the effect on inflation and growth will be greater.
10 Gazans reported killed in airstrikes amid firefight involving pro-Israel militia
An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people and wounded several others on Monday, outside a school that has been housing displaced Palestinians, health officials in the Hamas-run sector of the enclave say.
Before the strikes, some Palestinians had clashed with members of an Israeli-backed militia, who they said attacked the school in an attempt to abduct some people, medics and residents say.
In the midst of the clashes, east of the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli drones fired two missiles into the area, killing at least 10 people and wounding several others, they say.
It was not immediately clear how many civilians were killed in the strikes, which hit a closely packed neighborhood of mostly displaced Palestinians.
A leader of one of the Israel-backed militias says in a video, which Reuters cannot immediately authenticate, that they killed some five Hamas members .
There is no immediate comment from Hamas, which brands those groups that operate in areas under Israeli control as “Israeli collaborators.”
The Israeli military also has no immediate comment.
UN warns Trump against attacking civilian sites in Iran
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned the US that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law, his spokesman says, as US President Donald Trump threatens to take out Iranian bridges and power plants.
“Even if specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric says, an attack would still be prohibited if it risks “excessive incidental civilian harm.”
A court would need to decide whether such attacks were war crimes, he adds.
Ex-captives criticize Independence Day torch honor for government hostage czar Hirsch
Former hostages and their family members are slamming the selection of Gal Hirsch, the government’s hostage point man, to light a torch at the Independence Day Ceremony on April 21, saying he represents a government that did too little to save those taken captive by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023.
Yonatan Shamriz, the brother of hostage Alon Shamriz, who was mistakenly killed by IDF troops after managing to escape captivity in Gaza, calls the choice “simply absurd.”
“Instead of being held accountable, instead of facing a state commission of inquiry, he is being given a national stage,” says Shamriz, noting that Hirsch was accused by hostage families of pressuring them not to criticize the government that he says abandoned them.
Lishay Lavi-Miran, whose husband Omri Miran was released from captivity in October 2025, writes on X, “No rearguard battle over the narrative will change the truth about what happened there — something so many people already know. No torch-lighting ceremony will erase the abandonment.”
In February, a group of former hostages and their relatives demanded Hirsch’s resignation after he said in a series of interviews that mass demonstrations on behalf of the hostages had aided Hamas.
Ex-captive Rom Breslavski, one of the final 20 living hostages released in October 2025, calls the choice of Hirsch “a slap in the face to me, my father, my mother, and all the families of the hostages.”
“The same person who emphasizes how important the hostages are to him, and how much he worked for us, publicly spoke out against hostage families and threatened to sue them several times,” says Breslavski, accusing Hirsch of “just playing politics.”
Trump says US has plan to destroy every bridge and power plant in Iran within hours tomorrow night, if no deal
US President Donald Trump says the US has a plan to blow up every bridge and every power plant in Iran within four hours tomorrow night if Tehran does not capitulate to his demands.
“We have a plan… where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again, I mean, complete demolition, by 12 o’clock, and it will happen over a period of four hours if we want that to happen,” he says.
“We don’t want that,” he adds, noting that the US may end up helping Iran rebuild, in which case, he would not want to have to reconstruct expensive infrastructure like that.
He says Iran did not take him seriously before, leading him to order the demolition of Tehran’s largest bridge last week within minutes of talks falling apart.
“Do I want to destroy their infrastructure? No. It would take them 100 years to rebuild,” he says.
“If we left today, it would take them 20 years to rebuild their country… and the only way they’re going to be able to rebuild their country is to utilize the genius of the United States of America,” he claims.
Asked whether he would accept Iran charging toll in the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran reopens the channel, Trump suggests the US could be the one charging such tolls.
“Why shouldn’t we? We’re the winner. We won. They are militarily defeated,” he says.
He later appears to back off the idea.
“We have to have a deal that’s acceptable to me, and part of the deal is going to be that we want free traffic of oil and everything else,” he says.
Trump: Israel would have been destroyed if 2015 nuclear deal remained
US President Donald Trump says he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would have been destroyed had he not pulled out of former president Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.
“I told this to Bibi Netanyahu yesterday,” he says at the White House.
Trump also repeats his bewilderment with the majority of Jews who vote for Democratic politicians.
“How Israel can vote for a Democrat — if you’re Jewish in New York City or any place else in this country, how you can vote for a Democrat is unbelievable because (Obama) chose Iran,” Trump says.
The president attacks the Kurds when asked if he would like them to get involved in the war.
“I’d rather have them stay away because I think they bring with them some problems and some difficulty… They bring death… to themselves,” he responds.
Earlier, he suggested that the Kurds held onto guns given to them by the US, which were intended for use by protesters in Iran. He did not provide evidence for that claim.
In call, Qatar tells Iran to sue for deal to end war, slams attacks on Gulf
Qatar says its foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, told his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, in a call today that a diplomatic solution is the only way to resolve the ongoing regional crisis.
Sheikh Mohammed told Araghchi in a phone call that Qatar rejects the continued targeting by Iran of his country and other countries in the region, according to a statement by the Qatari foreign ministry.
Sheikh Mohammed “emphasized that targeting civilian infrastructure… is a rejected and condemned behavior by any party under any circumstances,” it says.
The Qatari minister also criticized Iran’s “reckless disregard for the region’s security” through its attacks on its neighbors, and urged a “comprehensive and permanent diplomatic solution” to end the war.
In shift, Trump says reopening Hormuz a ‘very big priority’
US President Donald Trump says reopening the Strait of Hormuz is a “very big priority,” adding that it does not take much for Iran to be able to obstruct traffic in the channel.
In the past, Trump has indicated that the reopening of the strait is not a necessity for US interests and that other countries can go in “and just take the oil.”
Asked to explain his seemingly contradictory messaging from the past several days in which he has both said the war is coming to an end and has threatened to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, Trump says it “depends” on what Iran does.
He recalls his Tuesday night ultimatum for Iran to accept a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a deadline that he has already pushed off twice.
“They asked for an extension of seven days. I said, ‘Give them 10 days,'” Trump recalls. He would go on to push it off by an additional 24 hours on Sunday.
“I thought it was inappropriate [to attack] the day after Easter. I want to be a nice person. They have until tomorrow. Now we’ll see what happens,” Trump adds.
“They’re negotiating, we think in good faith,” Trump says of Iran.
“We’re getting the help of some incredible countries that want this to be ended, because it affects them also,” he says. “We’re giving them until tomorrow, eight o’clock Eastern Time. After that, they can have no bridges. No power plants. Stone age.”
IDF says planes struck key IRGC sites, including facility linked to suppressing civilians
The Israeli Air Force carried out “intensive strikes” over the past day against key infrastructure of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Tehran, the military says.
The IDF says the targets included a “central site” of the IRGC, “responsible for suppressing the civilian population in Iran,” and “key infrastructure” at the IRGC’s headquarters and at the headquarters of the IRGC air force.
The military says IAF aircraft also struck ballistic missile storage and launch sites, and a site used to manufacture air defense systems.
Artemis astronauts reach farther from Earth than any humans in history
The four astronauts aboard Artemis II have set a record as the farthest-ever humans from Earth as they fly by the moon, surpassing the distance record of 248,655 miles (400,171 kilometers) set by Apollo 13 in April 1970.
Before it is all over, Mission Control expects Artemis II to beat the old record by more than 4,100 miles (6,600 kilometers).
“It is blowing my mind what you can see with the naked eye from the moon right now. It is just unbelievable,” Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen radios ahead of the flyby. He challenges “this generation and the next to make sure this record is not long-lived.”
Moments after breaking Apollo 13’s record, the astronauts ask permission to name two fresh lunar craters already observed. They propose Integrity, their capsule’s name, and Carroll in honor of commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife who died of cancer in 2020. Wiseman weeps as Hansen put in the request to Mission Control, and all four astronauts embrace in tears.
“Such a majestic view out here,” Wiseman radios.
Some military advisers were against mission to rescue downed Americans, Trump says
US President Donald Trump reveals that some of his military advisers were not supportive of his decision to launch an operation to rescue two American airmen who were shot down in Iran over the weekend due to the risk it would pose to those taking part.
“Not everybody was on board,” Trump tells reporters during a White House press conference. “There [were] military people — very professional — [who] preferred not doing it.”
He clarifies that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine were not among those skeptics.
“Somebody said, ‘This was the only time it’s ever been done,'” Trump claims. “Look at some of the helicopters, how they got hit.”
He asks Caine how many soldiers took part in the rescue, but the Joint Chiefs chairman responds, “I’d love to keep that a secret.”
“I’ll keep it a secret, but it was hundreds,” Trump says.
“I was told that this is a very dangerous mission. They didn’t say it’s a foolish mission,” he clarified.
Hegseth says today highest volume of strikes on Iran yet, Tuesday will be more
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells reporters that Monday is seeing the largest volume of strikes on Iran since the start of the war, and warns that Tuesday will have even more.
He has made identical comments at earlier points in the war, insisting that the intensity of strikes has continually ramped up over the course of fighting.
The defense secretary also infuses his comments on the rescue of an airman shot down over Iran with references to Christianity and the language of his faith, saying the officer who evaded capture for more than a day was shot down on Good Friday, “hidden in a cave” on Saturday, and on Easter Sunday, “a pilot reborn, all home and accounted for.”
Hegseth says that when the airman was finally able to activate an emergency transponder, his first transmitted message was: “God is good.”
Trump claims Iranians fine with strikes on civilian sites; says they should resume protesting but he knows that could be a death sentence
A reporter presses US President Donald Trump on his threat to bomb Iranian civilian infrastructure during a press conference on the weekend operation to rescue two American airmen shot down in Iran.
Trump insists the Iranian people would be okay with such strikes. “They would be willing to suffer that in order to have freedom.”
He says they are urging the US to “please keep bombing.”
Asked what his reaction would be if Iranians were to return to the streets, Trump acknowledges that doing so could well be a death sentence.
“They should do it. But the consequences are great. They were told, ‘If you protest, you will be shot immediately,” Trump says during his press conference.
He said earlier that Iranians live in a “violent, horrible world,” where “if you protest, you get shot.”
Hezbollah airs footage of IDF leaving equipment in Lebanon under deadly fire
Footage aired by Hezbollah shows that the Israeli military abandoned equipment and engineering vehicles in southern Lebanon during an attempt to cross the Litani River last month.
The incident took place on March 28, in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, where the Litani River is some four kilometers (some 2.5 miles) from the Israeli border.
Hezbollah’s video shows operatives launching rockets and mortars during the night in an attempt to thwart the advancement of the Israeli troops.
The video shows that in the morning, the Israeli troops apparently retreated from the area, leaving the equipment behind.
A Hezbollah operative is seen inspecting a makeshift bridge built by the IDF over the river, along with rubber boats and other army equipment.
Also seen in the video are at least three excavators that the military brought to the area and left behind.
The IDF confirms that a rocket attack in the area that night killed Sgt. Moshe Yitzchak Katz and wounded three other troops, and a separate rocket attack wounded another 20 soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel from the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.

CIA head says human intel, subterfuge used to help rescue airmen
CIA Director John Ratcliffe indicates that human intel and spy tech were enlisted to help find the airmen rescued from Iran.
“At the president’s direction, we deployed both human assets and exquisite technologies that no other intelligence service in the world possesses to a daunting challenge, comparable to hunting for a single grain of sand in the middle of a desert,” he says.
He also says his agency “executed a deception campaign to confuse the Iranians who were desperately hunting for our airmen,” Ratcliffe says.
“Our intelligence reflects that the Iranians were embarrassed and ultimately humiliated by the success of this audacious rescue mission,” he adds.
Iran blocks Qatari tankers from Strait of Hormuz despite US deal meant to allow them through – source
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards stopped two Qatari liquefied natural gas tankers headed toward the Strait of Hormuz earlier on Monday before transit and ordered them to hold position without explanation, a source tells Reuters.
The tankers had been listed among those Iran would allow transit, under an Iran-US agreement reached last week via Pakistan, says the source, who has been briefed on the agreement.
Trump threatens to jail reporter over leaked mention of 2nd downed airman
US President Donald Trump says a leak to the media about the existence of a second shot-down airman, shortly after American troops rescued the first one, threatened to upend the entire operation. And he threatens to jail the reporter ostensibly involved.
It is not clear which media outlet or reporter Trump is referring to. Several media outlets appeared to report on the rescue of the F-15E pilot within a short period of time Friday, including The New York Times, CBS News and Axios.
“We didn’t talk about the first [rescue] for an hour, and then somebody leaked something, which we’ll hopefully find that leaker,” Trump says during a White House press conference on the weekend rescue mission.
The “leaker basically said that we have one and there’s somebody missing,” which tipped off to the Iranians that an additional airman was in the wind, Trump says.
“We’re going to go to the media company that released it, and we’re going to say, ‘National security. Give it up or go to jail,'” he continues.
Trump says the leak made it much more difficult for the US pilots and ground troops searching for the airman, as Iran put out a “major notice,” offering locals a reward if they found him.
A previous version of this post erroneously said that Israeli outlets were first to report on the rescue.
In written statement, Iran’s new supreme leader said to mourn slain IRGC intel chief
In a written statement attributed to him, Iran’s new supreme leader expresses condolences over the killing of the Revolutionary Guard’s intelligence chief.
In the social media post, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ostensibly says Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi joined a “steadfast line of warriors and fighters” to sacrifice their lives. He says such actions will not deter Iranian forces.
Israeli strikes have killed dozens of top Iranian leaders, including Khamenei’s father.
The younger Khamenei has not been seen, nor has he spoken in public, since he succeeded his father as supreme leader last month.
Report: Mediators are pushing phased Iran ceasefire starting with confidence building steps
Mediating countries Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are urgently working to prevent a dramatic escalation in the war with Iran by advancing a phased ceasefire agreement, Channel 12’s Barak Ravid reports, revealing new details about the agreement.
The first stage of the framework, which Ravid first reported on Axios yesterday, would see a 45-day ceasefire, alongside confidence-building steps by both the US and Iran.
Iran would partially reopen the Strait of Hormuz and dilute some of its highly enriched uranium stockpile during this stage. Iranians have already begun technical steps in preparation for this dilution process, a source tells Channel 12.
For its part, the US would release billions of dollars in Iranian funds frozen in overseas accounts and provide assurances that the temporary ceasefire could transition into a permanent arrangement, according to the Hebrew-language network.
In the second stage, the two sides would enter negotiations on a final agreement to end the war, with the option to extend the truce for as long as those talks continue. Such an agreement would need to meet US demands for the removal of all of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile from the country, as well as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Channel 12 adds.
However, a major obstacle to reaching a deal is that Tehran does not believe that Washington is negotiating in good faith and is therefore demanding very strong guarantees, the report continues, saying that Iranian officials seek to avoid a status quo similar to Lebanon or Gaza, where they believe ceasefire agreements have failed to prevent renewed Israeli and US strikes.
IDF says it has killed 1,100 Hezbollah operatives since start of war
The Israeli military has killed around 1,100 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
“Every day, the troops are eliminating dozens of terrorists. Every week, hundreds of terrorists are eliminated, from the ground, air, and sea,” Defrin says.
“So far, we are at 1,100 Hezbollah terrorists eliminated. This number is growing,” he adds.
Palestinian man reportedly beaten by settlers
Palestinian media outlets report that a 70-year-old man was attacked by settlers in Mukhmas, a town north of Jerusalem attacked repeatedly by Jewish extremists in recent months.
According to the reports, the man was evacuated to a hospital by the Red Crescent after settlers beat him.
No further details about the incident were immediately available.
Trump recounts rescue of 2 downed airmen in Iran: ‘We could have ended up with 100 dead, as opposed to one or two’
US President Donald Trump uses his White House press conference to talk up the operation to rescue a fighter jet crew member stranded in Iran after his plane was shot down.
Trump says he “ordered the US armed forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors back home,” acknowledging that it was a “risky operation.”
“We could have ended up with 100 dead, as opposed to one or two,” Trump says. “It’s a hard decision to make, but in the United States military, we leave no American behind.”
He says 21 aircraft took part in the search for the pilot and the second crewman, flying “in broad daylight over Iran for seven hours, at times, facing very, very heavy enemy fire.”
“This first wave of search and rescue forces successfully located the pilot of the F-15, and he was extracted from enemy territory by an HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopter as our warriors faced gunfire at very close range,” Trump says.
Trump says the second crewman, a weapon system officer, “landed a significant distance away” from the pilot.
He “was injured quite badly and stranded in an area teeming with terrorists from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” Trump says.
“Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain,” climbing as far as he could away from the crash site in order to evade capture, Trump recounts.
“He scaled cliff faces while bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds, and contacted American forces to transmit his location” using a “a very sophisticated beeper type apparatus,” Trump says.
A massive operation involving 155 aircraft was then mobilized to rescue the airman.
The operation involved a great deal of “subterfuge” because the US wanted Iran to think the airman was located in a different location than where he actually was, Trump says.
Thousands of American troops were sent to look in areas that the US knew were not where the downed airman was located, he says.
“In a breathtaking show of skill and precision, lethality and force. America’s military descended on the real area, engaged the enemy, rescued the stranded officer, destroyed all threats and exited Iranian territory while taking no casualties of any kind,” Trump says, touting the wounded airman for evading capture on the ground in Iran for nearly 48 hours.
The US president confirms that two “old planes” used in the operation got stuck in wet sand and that a decision was made to blow up the aircraft so that the technology couldn’t fall into Iranian hands.
“Faster, lighter planes” were flown in to extract the soldiers who participated in the rescue mission, he says, adding that he was most impressed by the fact that the US forces had a contingency plan in place.
Trump says the US troops were extracted in 15-minute intervals.
“God was watching us… We were in Easter territory,” Trump says, highlighting that the rescuing troops came under heavy enemy fire.
Netanyahu warned Trump against ceasefire in Sunday call — report
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned US President Donald Trump yesterday against agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran at this stage in the war, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12 news.
On Sunday, Netanyahu ostensibly called Trump to congratulate him on the rescue of an American F-15 crew member in Iran, but in practice called to express concern that a ceasefire carries significant risks, according to the official.
Trump, for his part, told Netanyahu that a truce remains possible if US demands are met by Iran, but stressed that he would not give up on his demand that Tehran hand over all of its enriched uranium and agree not to resume enrichment, the official adds.
Officials close to Trump cited by Channel 12 say that while the president wants an agreement, Iran’s current position is unlikely to allow for a deal in the foreseeable future.
Erdogan says Turkey stepping up efforts to end Iran war
Turkey’s president says his country has intensified its push to end the war in Iran.
“We are striving to seize any chance, however small, for hostilities to cease and negotiations to open,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says in a televised address following a cabinet meeting.
“In the face of increasing risks, I, as president, on one hand, and our ministers on the other, are accelerating our diplomatic contacts,” he added.
He does not provide details.
Erdogan, a vocal critic of Israel, also accuses the country of sabotaging attempts to stop the fighting.
“The Israeli government has continued to undermine all initiatives aimed at ending the war,” Erdogan says.
Trump: All of Iran ‘can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night’
US President Donald Trump says the US could wipe out Iran tomorrow night, as he gives a press conference at the White House briefing room.
“The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” he says, apparently referring to his Tuesday night ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
He begins the press conference by saying he wants to “celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches… ever attempted by the military,” referring to the rescue of two airmen shot down in Iran.
“We were helped by a lot of people, a lot of great people,” Trump says, without elaborating. Israel reportedly played a role in helping retrieve the pilot and a second officer whose F-15E was downed.
“We got a little luck too,” Trump acknowledges, while hailing the bravery of the two rescued airmen.
Wartime restrictions on gatherings extended until tomorrow at least
The IDF Home Front Command says its current wartime guidelines are being extended until tomorrow afternoon at least.
By Tuesday at 2 p.m., another assessment will be conducted by the Home Front Command.
Under the current guidelines, educational institutions can operate — provided that there is an adequate shelter that can be reached in time — in some areas of the north, south, and West Bank, though most schools are currently on Passover break.
A full list of locales can be found on the Home Front Command’s website.
Gatherings of up to 100 people indoors and 50 people outdoors are also permitted, under the same conditions in those areas.
In the rest of the country, educational activities are still prohibited. Gatherings are limited to 50 people, provided a shelter can be reached in time, and workplaces can operate under the same conditions.
Watch: Trump gives press conference on Iran war
US President Donald Trump is holding a press conference regarding efforts to reach a deal with Iran aimed at halting the war.
Trump earlier said Iran’s counteroffer to a ceasefire proposal was “significant… but not good enough.”
He has given Iran until 8 p.m. Washington time tomorrow to reach a deal and open the Strait of Hormuz before the US begins attacking Iranian power plants and bridges, he says.
Watch the press conference live here:
France pushes back after Jerusalem halts arms deals
Israel has not formally notified France of its recent decision to halt all arms procurement from the country, a French source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel, while also criticizing the reasoning for the move.
French officials “discovered [the decision] in the news,” and “still haven’t been directly notified,” according to the source.
“We don’t know exactly what’s at stake,” the source continues, questioning whether the move applies to existing contracts, includes exceptions, or has a defined timeline.
The Defense Ministry declines to comment on the alleged lack of communication, instead reiterating earlier remarks that it had informed French Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin that “there will be no new professional engagement with the French military.”
The decision “is a clear sign that the bilateral relations are not good,” the French source adds, while noting that the economic impact is limited as Israel is not a significant defense customer for France.
The source calls Defense Ministry criticism that French decisions in recent years harmed Israel’s security “total BS because we showed several times… that we care about Israel’s security.”
Israel “forgot to mention that we contributed to Israeli defense during the last war with Iran in June,” the source says.
While the source declines to confirm whether France had blocked Israeli aircraft carrying munitions for operations against Iran from using its airspace in the current war — a key reason cited by the Defense Ministry for halting arms purchases — they add that even if such restrictions were in place, they would not have made a meaningful difference, as “there are alternative routes” available to Israel for these flights.
The source says that Israel and the US have been “very pushy” about Europe’s participation in the campaign against Iran, but that France’s position on refraining from offensive participation remains the same.
“If disagreeing with Israel means… not caring about [Israel’s] security interests, it’s a bit short for an argument,” the source says.
Despite the rise in tensions, dialogue between Israel and France is ongoing, the source adds, saying “we still continue to have discussions” on both diplomatic and military levels.
Top opposition politicians slam government for failing to deliver security amid war
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid and The Democrats chairman Yair Golan both slam the government during separate visits to the site of yesterday’s Iranian ballistic strike on a residential building in Haifa.
Offering his support and condolences to local residents and the families of those killed, Lapid tells reporters that “the State of Israel fights well but is managed poorly. Our soldiers are writing magnificent chapters in Lebanon as well, but [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is again failing to reach a strategic resolution.”
“None of the war goals as he defined them are being achieved. It is time to ask where this is heading and why this government is never capable of winning a war,” Lapid states.
In a post on X from the scene, Golan says Israelis “must not accept a reality in which fighters and civilians pay heavy prices, but the government is not striving for a strategic resolution that will bring security.”
“The simple truth is that the Netanyahu-Smotrich-Goldknopf government is an obstacle to security,” he asserts, referencing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and United Torah Judaism chairman Yitzhak Goldknopf.
Iranian diplomat says mere ceasefire not enough, as official insists talks have not collapsed
A regional official involved in talks for a ceasefire in Iran says the efforts have not collapsed.
“We are still talking to both sides,” he says, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door diplomacy.
Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, tells The Associated Press that “we won’t merely accept a ceasefire.”
“We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again,” he says.
He says Iran no longer trusts the Trump administration after the US bombed the Islamic Republic twice during previous rounds of talks: The “White House assassinated the negotiating table.”
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency said Tehran conveyed its response through Pakistan, a key mediator.
Trump is expected to talk to the press about the war and efforts to end it in some 10 minutes.
Israel says it hit Iranian petrochemical site being used to make missiles
The IDF says it struck Iran’s largest petrochemical facility because the site was used to produce materials for missiles.
“At the site in Asaluyeh, a central production infrastructure had been established for materials used in the manufacture of explosives and propellants for ballistic missiles and additional weaponry,” the military says, adding that “the site serves as a significant hub for producing essential components for the missile industry of the Iranian terror regime.”
Over the weekend, Israel struck another major petrochemical site in southern Iran.
“The IDF has now targeted Iran’s two biggest petrochemical complexes, rendering more than 85 percent of Iran’s petrochemical export capacity inoperable,” the military says.
IRGC vows ‘major retaliatory strike’ over killing of intel chief
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vow to avenge the death of their intelligence chief, Major General Majid Khademi, killed earlier in the day in an Israeli strike.
“The malicious and desperate enemy should know that a major retaliatory strike by the IRGC Intelligence Organization, under Operation ‘Crushing Revenge,’ awaits the planners and perpetrators of this crime,” Khademi’s agency says in a statement on the Guards’ official site, Sepah News.
Blowing up civilian sites in Iran would not be a war crime, Trump says
US President Donald Trump says blowing up bridges and power plants in Iran would not be war crimes “because they killed 45,000 people in the last month.”
The comments appear to refer to Iran’s gunning down of thousands of protesters earlier this year.
“You know what’s a war crime? Allowing a sick country with demented leadership to have a nuclear weapon,” Trump adds.
Home Front Command extending rocket attack warning times for dozens of northern communities
The IDF Home Front Command says it will be extending the warning times for rocket fire on communities in the Golan Heights and near the Sea of Galilee, after carrying out a similar move for Lebanon border communities.
The latest move means that, in many communities, where the time to seek shelter was immediate or within 15-30 seconds, there will now be slightly more time.
The Home Front Command, along with other military bodies, analyzed Hezbollah’s rocket fire and the IDF’s detection systems, and determined that numerous communities can get slightly longer warning times.
The changes will apply to Katzrin, Buq’ata, Ein Qiniyye, Majdal Shams, Mas’ade, and several communities of the Golan Regional Council and the Emek Hayarden Regional Council.
They include 14 communities moving from immediate to 15 seconds; eight communities from immediate to 30 seconds; seven communities from 15 seconds to 30 seconds; seven communities from 15 seconds to 45 seconds; and eight communities from 30 seconds to 45 seconds.
The move will take effect starting tomorrow at noon, according to the Home Front Command.
The changes do not affect five communities on the northern border where the time to seek shelter ranges from between 15 seconds to a full minute.
Last month, the Home Front Command announced a similar move in dozens of communities on the Lebanon border, and yesterday, it tripled the warning time for missile attacks on Eilat.
Trump says those who kept guns from reaching Iranian protesters ‘will pay’
US President Donald Trump says people who kept weapons that the US sent to arm protesters in Iran will “pay a big price” for doing so, in comments that appear to be aimed at Kurdish separatists.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Easter egg roll, Trump claims the Iranian people want the US-Israeli bombing campaign to continue. He insists that the only reason they are not protesting is because of an “edict” from the Islamic Republic warning that those who demonstrate against it will be shot in the streets.
Those who want to protest against the regime do not have any weapons and are therefore completely outmatched, Trump says.
“We sent guns, they were supposed to go to the people… You know what happened? The people that [we] sent them to kept them,” he says, without specifically calling out the Kurds by name as he did on Sunday in an interview with Fox News.
“They said, ‘What a beautiful gun. I think I’ll keep it,'” Trump claims. “So I’m very upset with a certain group of people, and they’re going to pay a big price for that.”
Remaining victims of Haifa attack named
Three more victims of the Haifa missile attack are named as father and son Vladimir and Dima Gershovitz and Dima’s wife, Lucille Jane.
Vladimir’s age is given as 73, Dima’s as 42, and Lucille Jane’s as 29. They were killed alongside Valdimir’s wife and Dima’s mother Lena Gershovitz, 68, whose last name is also given in some reports as Ostrovsky.
According to Ynet news, Dima, an engineer who lived in Herzliya, had brought his father home from an extended stay at a Haifa hospital hours before the missile hit their home, killing all four and trapping them under the rubble.
Trump says US public wants war to end, or he would stay and take Iran’s oil
US President Donald Trump says he would like to “take” Iran’s oil but will refrain from doing so because the American public wants the war to end quickly.
“We are obliterating [Iran]… and they just don’t want… to cry ‘uncle,'” Trump tells reporters on the sidelines of the White House Easter egg roll.
“But they will [cry ‘uncle’]. And if they don’t, they’ll have no bridges, they’ll have no power plants, they’ll have no anything,” Trump claims, reiterating his threat from a day before to blow up those sites if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I’d take the oil, keep the oil, and make plenty of money,” Trump says.
Trump says Iranian counter-proposal for ceasefire ‘significant, but not good enough,’ Tuesday deadline final
US President Donald Trump confirms having received a proposal from Iran for a ceasefire, calling it “significant,” while clarifying that it doesn’t go far enough.
“They’ve made a proposal… It’s not good enough, but it’s a very significant step,” Trump says while fielding questions from reporters during the White House Easter egg hunt.
Asked whether his Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz will be his final one, given that he has already pushed it back two other times, Trump insists that he won’t be doing so again.
Trump says Iran has been “negotiating in good faith, that its new leaders are “not as radicalized” and that the war could “end very quickly.”
“We could leave right now, and it would take them 15 years to rebuild… but I want to finish it up,” he says, without explaining what “finish it up” means.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They are lunatics, and you can’t put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic,” he says of Iran’s leaders, whom moments ago, he characterized as “much more reasonable.”
He claims that Israel would have been “wiped off the face of the earth” had he not pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2015, and says the current war is “about one thing: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
Army shows off captured Hezbollah weapons
The military publishes footage of caches of Hezbollah weapons that were recently found by troops in southern Lebanon.
The IDF says that reservists of the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade located one cache in an underground Hezbollah site.

IDF chief said to tell Netanyahu Hezbollah is weak after anger over claim group was underestimated
Israel Hayom reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told cabinet ministers last night that a potential ceasefire between the US and Iran would not mean that Israel has to stop fighting in Lebanon.
According to the report, Defense Minister Israel Katz also reportedly tells the forum that “the ultimate goal” of the campaign in Lebanon “is to disarm Hezbollah by all military and political means. Of course, also beyond the Litani, and we are working on that.”
He said that the IDF is demilitarizing southern Lebanon up to the Litani while retaining full freedom of action for Israel in Lebanon.
“There is not and will not be a population that is hostile to Israel in this area. Not even a civilian one,” said Katz, according to the report.
His comments come days after a senior military official said that the prospect of fully disarming the group was unrealistic and not a “required goal” of the army’s ongoing ground offensive.
According to the report, Netanyahu expressed anger over comments by IDF Northern Command head Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo, aired by Channel 12 news, that security officials overestimated the damage done to Hezbollah’s military capabilities following the army’s 2024 ground offensive.
The report claims that officers offered an alternative perspective, expressing surprise at how poorly Hezbollah has been fighting on the ground.
“Hezbollah’s performance is low in every way,” an intelligence officer is quoted as having said. “I expected more from Hezbollah.”
“If we were surprised by anything, it was Hezbollah’s low level of fighting, both in terms of motivation or lack of motivation, and in terms of combat capability,” the report says IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told the meeting. “We discovered that the terrifying Radwan force is not that terrifying.”
IDF says Hezbollah may have fired at foreign ship, after claimed attack on Israeli vessel off Lebanon
The Israeli military is investigating the possibility that Hezbollah targeted a foreign vessel off the coast of Lebanon yesterday.
On Sunday, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an Israeli Navy vessel using a cruise missile. The terror group said “a direct hit was confirmed” on the ship, 68 nautical miles off the Lebanese coast, “after hours of tracking the target.”
The IDF denies the claim, saying “this is a false report” and “no Israeli vessel was hit.”
“We emphasize that there was no threat to an Israeli vessel or in its vicinity at any stage,” the military says.
A military source says that it is possible that Hezbollah fired on a foreign vessel, which was not hit. The matter is under review by the IDF, the source adds.
Netanyahu: Trump thanked Israel for help rescuing airman
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says US President Donald Trump thanked Israel for its part in the rescue of an officer whose fighter jet was downed when the two spoke yesterday.
“I expressed to him our immense appreciation for the heroic rescue operation of that American airman,” says Netanyahu in a video released by his office, ” and President Trump, for his part, thanked me for the assistance that Israel provided in that operation.”
According to Israeli officials, Israel’s assistance consisted of sharing intelligence and halting bombings in the areas where searches for the officer were taking place.
Trump, according to Netanyahu, gushed about Israel in the conversation.
“He said, ‘You guys are great,'” Netanyahu says in the video. “You are great. He sees Israel as a strong, determined, and resolute ally, fighting shoulder to shoulder alongside the United States, and together we are continuing to crush Iran’s terror regime.”
Israel and the US, he says, “are systematically eliminating the Revolutionary Guards’ money machine. We are eliminating factories, we are eliminating operatives, and yes, we continue to eliminate senior officials.”
Trump talks up rescue of US airmen at Easter egg roll
Addressing the annual White House Easter egg roll, US President Donald Trump touts the weekend rescue of two US airmen whose plane was shot down in Iran.
“What about the rescue that took place yesterday? That’s something that you rarely see!” Trump says from the White House balcony overlooking the South Lawn where hundreds of VIP egg hunters cheer below.
“When a thing like that happens where a pilot is shot down, in most instances, you’re really not able to go in, because you’ll go in with 200 people and lots of jet fighters and helicopters, and you really don’t have a chance. They get shot down. You lose 200 in order to pick up one. It’s a horrible thing,” Trump says, while flanked by First Lady Melania Trump and an Easter bunny mascot.
“What we did yesterday is we picked up not one, we picked up two! We kept the first one quiet… for about a day, which made it a lot better,” Trump adds.
He also credits Iran as “capable fighters.”
“That enemy is strong — not so strong like they were about a month ago… but we’re soon going to find out,” Trump adds, apparently referring to his Tuesday night ultimatum for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Footage appears to show settlers attacking Palestinians near Ramallah
Palestinian media outlets publish footage of what they report is a settler attack on a Palestinian family between the villages of Silwad and Yabrud, in the Ramallah area.
The footage shows masked individuals kicking and beating several people near a Palestinian vehicle. Reports claim that one of the women who was assaulted is pregnant. There are no further details about the incident at this time.

Iran says it has rejected ceasefire proffer, wants permanent end to war
Iran has conveyed its response to the US proposal for ending the war to Pakistan, rejecting a ceasefire and emphasizing the necessity of a permanent end to the war, the official IRNA news agency says.
Iran’s response consists of 10 clauses, including an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions and reconstruction, the agency added.
Houthis claim drone fire at Eilat area in ‘joint op’ with Iran, Hezbollah
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for launching drones at southern Israel this afternoon.
In a statement, the Houthis say they launched a “barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting several vital and military sites belonging to the Israeli enemy” in Eilat.
According to the IDF, several drones launched at the Eilat area were intercepted. The military said it lost contact with others, indicating they crashed somewhere.
The terror group also claims that the attack was a “joint operation” with Iran and Hezbollah.
At the same time, an Iranian ballistic missile salvo targeted central Israel and sirens also sounded in the north due to Hezbollah rocket fire.
Iran says war to continue as long as needed
Iran will continue the war with the United States and Israel for as long as its political leaders deem necessary, the army spokesman says.
“We can continue the war as long as the political authorities see fit,” Mohammad Akraminia tells ISNA news agency, adding that “the enemy must definitely regret it because, after this war, we need to reach a point of security and not witness another war.”
According to Reuters, citing IRNA, Iran’s response is a rejection of the US ceasefire proposal.
Haifa victim named as voice coach Lena Ostrovsky
Voice coach Lena Ostrovsky is named as one of four victims killed in an Iranian missile attack that slammed into a Haifa home last night.
Ostrovsky was a teacher at the Nissan Nativ acting school in Jerusalem, as part of a three-decade career in which she “nurtured generations of actors with dedication, professionalism and foremost a great love for the work and for her students,” the Israeli Actors Association says in a statement mourning her death, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
Ostrovsky was killed along with three other family members, who have not yet been named, when an Iranian ballistic missile struck a Haifa home.
Earlier reports identified the four, whose bodies took several hours to recover from under the rubble, as an elderly couple, their son, and his partner.
Jordan, Saudi Arabia back Lebanese efforts to disarm Hezbollah, condemn Iranian ‘aggressions’
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi meets his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud in Riyadh, where the two back Beirut’s efforts to disarm Hezbollah without mentioning the terror group by name, while also calling for Israel’s military operation in southern Lebanon to end.
The two veteran diplomats “affirmed the necessity of stopping the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, committing to the ceasefire agreement achieved on November 27, 2024,” according to a Jordanian readout, “and supporting the Lebanese government’s efforts to impose its sovereignty over all its territories, activate its institutions, and confine arms to the hands of the state.”
The ministers condemn Iran’s “aggressions as a violation of international law and the principles of good neighborliness, and an unjustified assault on the sovereignty of states.”
They also discuss ending the war in Iran with guarantees “that ensure security and stability, respect for the sovereignty of states and the principles of good neighborliness, and prevent the recurrence of Iranian aggressions.”
Safadi and Prince Faisal also issue a string of condemnations against Israel, including over the expansion of West Bank settlements, occupation of Syrian land, and “assaults on freedom of worship and violations of the established historical and legal status quo in the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.”
Iranian media publishes US soldier’s ID found in wreckage of plane
Iranian state-run media carries what it says is previously unpublished footage from the wreckage of American aircraft that were destroyed during the exfiltration of an American officer whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over the weekend.
In the footage, armed men who appear to be Iranian military officials are seen combing through the remains of C-130 transport planes and holding a US servicemember’s military ID and Israeli border control entry receipt. They also show off an American Express credit card, a receipt and an American flag.
Much of the footage features widespread wreckage of the aircraft, much of which were previously seen in still photos published by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Included among the wreckage are what Iranian media claims are unexploded ordnance.
The video also includes footage of a low-flying aircraft being fired upon from afar.
The IRGC claimed yesterday to have downed the American C-130 transport aircraft, though US officials said the planes were blown up by the US when technical difficulties forced troops rescuing the downed airman to leave the aircraft behind.
IDF wraps up ‘extensive’ airstrikes on Tehran, other areas
The Israeli Air Force completed an “extensive” wave of airstrikes in Tehran and other areas of Iran a short while ago, the military says.
The IDF says the strikes hit Iranian regime infrastructure sites.
Further details on the targets will be provided later, the IDF says.
Iran said earlier that a petrochemical plant near Shiraz was hit in a strike.
IDF says it hit Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport, smaller airstrips overnight
The IDF says it destroyed dozens of Iranian aircraft during strikes on three airports in the Tehran area overnight.
According to the military, the strikes were aimed at causing a blow to the Iranian air force and the IRGC air force.
Dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit Iranian planes and helicopters, as well as infrastructure “used by the regime’s armed forces for military purposes” at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport and two smaller airstrips in the area.
Earlier, the military said it had bombed runways and control towers at the airports, along with a factory belonging to the IRGC Quds Force that manufactured drones.

Trump to speak about Iran ceasefire proposal — ‘one of many ideas’ — at appearance later today
US President Donald Trump will speak about a Pakistani ceasefire proposal at a press conference at 1 p.m. local time (8 p.m. in Israel), a White House official tells Reuters.
“This is one of many ideas, and [Trump] has not signed off on it. Operation Epic Fury continues,” says the official, referring to the US name for the operation against Iran.
The Pakistani-brokered plan emerged from intense overnight contacts and proposes an immediate ceasefire, followed by negotiations on a broader peace settlement to be concluded within 15 to 20 days, according to a source aware of the proposals.
A senior Iranian official earlier told Reuters that Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a temporary ceasefire, nor would it accept deadlines or pressure to reach a deal. Washington was not ready for a permanent ceasefire, the official said.
In a possibly related development, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi discussed the Iran conflict and other developments in a call today, a Turkish foreign ministry source says.
The source gives no further information on the talks.
No injuries after drones from Yemen target Eilat area
Several drones were launched from Yemen at Israel a short while ago, according to the IDF, after sirens sounded in communities near Eilat in southern Israel. Those communities have been given an all-clear.
The IDF says some of the drones were intercepted. It lost contact with others, indicating they may have crashed somewhere.
There are no reports of injuries or damage in the attack.
Second petrochemical plant struck, Iran says
A second petrochemical facility in Iran was hit by airstrikes, Iranian media reports.
“A few minutes ago, the Marvdasht Petrochemical Complex was targeted by an American-Zionist enemy attack,” the Fars news agency reports.
Fars says a fire that sparked at the complex was brought under control, and no casualties were caused.
Earlier, Israel confirmed striking Iran’s largest petrochemical facility in Asaluyeh. Over the weekend, Israel also struck petrochemical facilities in southern Iran.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier that the IDF has been instructed “to continue striking with full force the national infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime.”
Fresh launch from Iran detected, as drone and rocket sirens sound in north and south
After sirens sounded across central Israel following an Iranian ballistic missile attack, another early warning is issued in central Israel, areas south of Jerusalem and other parts of southern Israel after the IDF detected a new launch from Iran.
No injuries have been reported in the initial attack.
Drone sirens are also sounding in the southern Negev and a rocket alarm is triggered in the Galilee panhandle near the Lebanon border.
Iran says fire at Pars petrochemical plant under control, damage being assessed
Iran’s state-run media reports that fires at a petrochemical plant attacked by Israel have been brought under control.
According to Fars News, crews are assessing the extent of damage at the facility, located at the South Pars gas field.
Earlier, Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed that the IDF strike had taken Iran’s largest petrochemical plant offline.
Iranian missile launch detected
The IDF has detected another ballistic missile attack from Iran, targeting central Israel, Jerusalem and parts of the West Bank.
Sirens are expected to sound shortly.
Democrats MK, rights orgs petition High Court against death penalty law
Democrats MK Gilad Kariv files a petition to the High Court of Justice alongside the left-wing Zulat Institute and NGO Rabbis for Human Rights, asking it to strike down or temporarily freeze the law passed by the Knesset last week mandating the death penalty for West Bank Palestinians convicted of deadly terror attacks, warning that executions could theoretically proceed before the court decides on its legality.
Like other petitions against the law, Kariv and the other petitioners argue that the law discriminates between Palestinians and Israeli Jews, that it is unconstitutional as it violates the right to life, human dignity, due process, and equality, and that the Knesset lacks authority to impose such legislation on the Palestinian population of the West Bank, where Israel does not hold sovereignty.
The petition further argues that there is no evidence that such a law will deter terrorism — the stated goal of proponents of the legislation — and warns it may instead fuel more violence, adding that “the state cannot protect the value of life by taking life.”
Kariv, who led opposition to the legislation in the Knesset, says in a statement that “those handing out baklava and popping champagne in the Knesset are not fighting the accursed terrorists — they are becoming like them,” referring to celebrations by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party, which sponsored the legislation, after the law’s passage.
Kariv adds that the law is an election campaign by “a party that has completely failed in all the governing responsibilities it has undertaken.”
Several other organizations and political parties have either already petitioned the court against the law or intend to, including the opposition Yesh Atid and Hadash-Ta’al parties, and rights organizations The Association for Civil Rights in Israel and The New Israel Fund.
IDF intercepts Houthi drone after sirens sound in Eilat
A drone launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen at Israel was intercepted, according to the IDF.

Israel, Greece finalize NIS 2.3 billion purchase of Israeli artillery system
The Israeli and Greek defense ministries hold a signing ceremony in Athens for an agreement that will see Israel supply PULS precision rocket artillery systems to the Greek Army, Israel’s Defense Ministry says.
The deal is worth approximately NIS 2.3 billion (about $757.84 million).
The ministry says the deal is part of a strategy “to expand Israeli defense exports as a key tool for strengthening the IDF’s force buildup, advancing policy goals, and supporting the defense industry and economy.”
The PULS system, made by Israel’s Elbit, has a range of up to 300 km (190 miles) and will help protect Greece’s northeastern border with Turkey and Greek islands in the Aegean, officials have said. The deal also includes the construction of components in Greece.
According to the Defense Ministry, the deal will be implemented over four years, followed by a decade of support and maintenance.
Greece and Israel have strong economic and diplomatic ties, have conducted several joint military exercises in recent years, and operate an air training centre in southern Greece.
Greek lawmakers approved in December the purchase of 36 PULS systems.
Greece has said it will spend about 28 billion euros ($32.66 billion) by 2036 to modernize its armed forces as it emerges from a 2009-2018 debt crisis and tries to keep pace with its historic rival, Turkey.
Greece is also in talks with Israel to develop a 3 billion euro ($1.09 billion) anti-aircraft and missile defense dome.
Huckabee meets with Netanyahu to thank Israel for ‘unprecedented assistance’ in rescue of airman
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to thank him on behalf of the American people “for unprecedented assistance to US Military & Intel agencies who conducted a historic rescue mission of our air crew in Iran,” the diplomat writes on X.
Huckabee says that American special forces carried out a “brilliant operation,” and that the IDF and the Mossad were “helpful partners in the mission.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they targeted US, Israel-linked ships, state media reports
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards targeted the US amphibious assault ship LHA-7, pushing it to retreat into the southern Indian Ocean, Iranian state media reports.
The Guards also targeted a container ship, which they said belonged to Israel, with the identifier “SDN7,” without disclosing its location.
IAEA confirms impact of recent strikes near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant
The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm recent impacts of military strikes close to Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, but adds that the plant itself was not damaged.
The UN atomic watchdog says that the confirmation was based on its independent analysis of new satellite imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, adding that one strike had hit only 75 meters (246 feet) from the site perimeter.
Last week, the agency said it had been informed by Iran about a projectile striking close to the premises of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
Boaz Levy nominated as Israel Aerospace Industries chairman
Defense Minister Israel Katz and Regional Cooperation Minister David Amsalem announce that they have selected Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy as their candidate to serve as chairman of the state-owned defense firm’s board.
Levy, who has spent more than three decades at IAI, began his career as an engineer on the Arrow missile defense project and later led both the Arrow and Barak 8 missile defense system programs. He went on to head the company’s Missiles and Space Systems Division and has served as CEO in recent years, overseeing major export deals and record financial and technological growth.
His appointment is subject to approval by the Senior Appointments Advisory Committee and a vote by IAI’s board.
Katz says Levy’s experience gives him a “unique ability to lead the board at this critical stage.”
Israel says it struck Iran’s largest petrochemical site
The Israeli Air Force struck Iran’s “largest petrochemical facility” a short while ago, Defense Minister Israel Katz says.
Iranian media reported that airstrikes targeted petrochemical facilities at Iran’s South Pars gas field.
Katz, in a statement, confirms the strike, saying that the IDF “has just powerfully struck the largest petrochemical facility in Iran, located in Asaluyeh, a central target responsible for about 50 percent of the country’s petrochemical production, following last week’s strike on the second main facility.”
He says that the two facilities, “which together are responsible for about 85% of Iran’s petrochemical exports, have been taken out of use and are not functioning.”
“This is a severe economic blow amounting to tens of billions of dollars to the Iranian regime,” he says.
Katz says that the petrochemical industry is a “central engine in financing the activities” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran’s military build-up.
He also says that the IDF has been instructed to “continue striking with full force the national infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime.”
“The Iranian terror regime will discover that continued aggression against Israel and the cowardly and criminal firing at Israeli civilians will lead to a deepening of the economic and strategic damage it pays and to the collapse of its capabilities,” Katz adds.
Four wounded in Iranian missile and drone attack on UAE
The United Arab Emirates intercepted 12 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and 19 drones fired by Iran today, says the Emirati defense ministry. Four people were wounded in the attacks.
Thirteen people have been killed in the UAE from Iranian attacks during the current war.
Since the start of the US-Israel campaign against Iran on February 28, the UAE has been the country most targeted by Iran, facing 519 ballistic missiles, 26 cruise missiles and 2,210 drones.
One moderately hurt in Iranian cluster missile attack on central Israel; 30 bomblet impact sites reported
At least one person is moderately injured as a result of a cluster submunition impact in central Israel, medics say.
Magen David Adom says it treated a 44-year-old who was hit by a blast from one of the bomblets in Ramat Gan.
Some 30 bomblet impact sites were reported across central Israel following Iran’s ballistic missile attack.
Ben Gvir defends Iran war as ‘absolute necessity’ at site of Haifa strike
Speaking at the site of yesterday’s Iranian ballistic strike on a residential building in Haifa, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir defends the government’s handling of the war against Iran, calling the conflict an “absolute necessity” and a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to prevent the “Nazi regime” in Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“There are those looking for various ‘exit strategies’ [but] I am in favor of a victory strategy. We are defeating the Iranians, our IDF is doing wonderful work,” he says, praising Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz alongside the defense and intelligence establishments, police and fire service.
“If the Iranians have a nuclear weapon, we will be in far more difficult arenas than this. I am proud that we embarked on this campaign…and we must continue to crush the Iranians, both in Lebanon and in Gaza,” he says, slamming the High Court of Justice for allowing public anti-war protests.
Ben Gvir’s comments about exit strategies appear to be a response to opposition politicians who have criticized the government’s prosecution of the war.
This morning, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said that while the IDF is conducting itself well, “Netanyahu has failed in all the goals of the war.”
While Netanyahu promised a decisive victory, that means “regime change, eliminating the nuclear threat, removing the ballistic threat [and] crushing Hezbollah” and “ending the war at a regional conference in Riyadh with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt, which defines a military and economic alliance against Iran” as well as “a political agreement with the Lebanese government that defines conditions for peace and a joint struggle against Hezbollah,” Lapid said.
“None of this is happening,” he continued, adding that during wartime, “it is permissible and desirable to doubt, especially if the war is going in a bad, sloppy, unplanned direction. Anyone who ran to a shelter twice in the night has earned the right to ask why the goals have not been achieved.”
Education minister: Wartime school guidelines likely extended as PM, lawmakers set to convene
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Education Minister Yoav Kisch and other ministers are set to discuss the next steps for the education system in the shadow of the war with Iran in a meeting tonight, Kisch says in a statement.
According to the statement, the meeting will include Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Education will be one of the topics on the agenda.
Schools in Israel are set to reopen on Thursday after the end of the Passover holiday.
Kisch says the current outline, which allows in-person learning only in areas designated by the Home Front Command as having a lower risk of attacks, will be extended at least until the end of the week, provided there is no change in the HFC guidelines. The decision was made after discussion with representatives of the local authorities and parents, among others.
The Home Front Command typically conducts assessments every two or three days.
Under the current guidelines, areas of the country are designated as yellow and orange. In the former, provided that a shelter can be reached within the time available to reach a protected space, educational activities can be held in person, and gatherings can include up to 50 people outdoors and 100 people indoors. In the latter, educational activities are prohibited, and gatherings can include up to 50 people, provided that shelter is available (workplaces with access to shelters can operate in both areas).
Currently, most of Israel is labeled as orange; yellow areas include the Gaza border communities, the Lower Galilee, Arava and West Bank.
A new assessment is scheduled for tonight.
According to the statement, the Education Ministry is also working on possible outlines to expand in-person learning, among others, considering a rotating system alternating between in-person and remote learning, with some 30 to 50 percent of the students attending classes in person at one time.

Netanyahu hails killing of IRGC intel chief, vows to continue war ‘with full force’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauds the military’s assassination of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence chief, Majid Khademi, vowing that Israel “will continue with full force” in its war aims, in a Hebrew-language post on X.
Netanyahu also hails the assassination of Yazdan Mir, known by his alias Sardar Bagheri, who headed the IRGC Quds Force’s clandestine Unit 840, calling him “responsible for attacks against Jews and Israelis around the world.”
“Whoever acts to murder our citizens, whoever directs terrorism against Israel, whoever builds the Iranian axis of evil — their blood is on their own head. We are acting with power and determination, we will reach anyone who seeks to harm us,” the premier warns.
“We will continue with full force, on all fronts, until the threat is removed and all the objectives of the war are achieved,” he concludes.
Home Front Command officer says Haifa recovery operation one of war’s ‘most complex’
A senior Home Front Command search and rescue officer describes the 18-hour effort to recover four bodies at the site of an Iranian ballistic missile impact in Haifa as one of the “most complex” rescue operations of the war.
According to the officer, the four victims were in an inner room in an apartment at the bottom of the building, close to the stairwell, and not in a bomb safe room.
“This was one of the most complex rescue operations we have dealt with in the recent campaign. Eighteen hours of using specialized capabilities, a lot of work,” he says.
The officer says the forces operated under the assumption that the victims could be alive, and therefore “worked slowly and methodically until we extracted all four.”
Additionally, the rescue operation was complicated by the fear that the Iranian ballistic missile’s warhead had not exploded upon impact.
“The assumption was that there was either a warhead or some unexploded ordnance inside the structure,” the officer says, adding that “necessary precautions” were taken.
To reach the victims as quickly as possible, the Home Front Command forces dug several tunnels within the rubble. “There is a very complex procedure here,” the officer adds.
Kremlin, asked about Trump threats to Iran, says whole region is ‘on fire’

Jerusalem man to be charged with spying for Iran
A young man from Jerusalem is set to be indicted on espionage charges, police announce, after he was arrested on suspicion of working for an Iranian intelligence agent.
Authorities arrested the 21-year-old on March 26 and submitted a prosecutor’s declaration against him this morning, signaling the pending indictment.
Over the course of 2025, the suspect allegedly gathered intelligence in different locations throughout the country. He bought video equipment for this purpose, police say.
Like most Israelis nabbed on suspicion of spying for Iranian interests, the suspect allegedly met his contact online and was paid by him in cryptocurrency.
The suspect was “aware that he was working on behalf of a hostile actor,” police say.
Final body recovered from Haifa missile impact site, rescuers say
All four bodies have been recovered from under the rubble at the site of the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Haifa, according to rescue services.
Four people were unaccounted for after the missile struck a residential building in Haifa Sunday.
Two bodies were located overnight, and the other two were located this morning. All four were extracted from the rubble at around the same time, a short while ago.
They include a man and woman in their 80s, a man in his 40s, and a woman aged 35, according to Magen David Adom.
Iran says it has formulated response to ceasefire proposals; earlier said it won’t reopen Strait of Hormuz as part of truce
Iran has formulated its positions and demands in response to recent ceasefire proposals conveyed via intermediaries, a foreign ministry spokesperson says, adding that negotiations were “incompatible with ultimatums and threats to commit war crimes.”
A Pakistani-brokered plan emerged from intense overnight contacts and proposes an immediate ceasefire, followed by negotiations on a broader settlement to be concluded within 15 to 20 days, a source aware of the proposals said earlier on Monday.
Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was in contact “all night long” with US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the source said.
Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says Tehran has a set of requirements based on its national interests that have already been conveyed via intermediary channels, adding that earlier US demands, such as the 15-point plan, were rejected for being “excessive.”
“Iran does not hesitate to clearly express what it considers its legitimate demands and doing so should not be interpreted as a sign of compromise, but rather as a reflection of its confidence in defending its positions,” Baghaei says in a press conference.
“We have formulated our own responses” and will announce details in due time, he adds in response to an Iranian journalist’s question regarding ongoing efforts to bring about a ceasefire between Iran and the US.
Earlier today, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran won’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a temporary ceasefire, nor would it accept deadlines or pressure to reach a deal. Washington was not ready for a permanent ceasefire, the official said.
Axios first reported on Sunday that the US, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase deal that could lead to a permanent end to the war.
IDF says senior Iranian militia commander killed in Lebanon strike
A senior commander in the Imam Hossein Division, an Iranian militia that operates alongside Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon yesterday, the IDF announces.
The military says it struck Imam Hossein’s main headquarters responsible for “managing firepower,” and killed the militia’s artillery chief, Kamil Melhem, alongside other operatives, including an aide to the commander of the division.
Third body retrieved from Haifa missile strike rubble; recovery efforts ongoing for fourth
A third body has been recovered from under the rubble at the site of the Iranian ballistic missile impact in Haifa, rescue services say, identifying him as a man in his 40s.
Four people were unaccounted for after the missile struck a residential building in Haifa.
Two bodies were located overnight — a man and a woman in their 80s — and one body was recovered a short while ago, according to search and rescue forces operating at the scene.
The rescue forces say the body of the fourth person is expected to be recovered in the coming hours.
Iran accuses UN nuclear watchdog of inaction, warns of risk from attacks
Inaction by the UN nuclear watchdog “emboldens aggression” against nuclear facilities such as the Bushehr power plant, Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami says in a letter addressed to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director.
Eslami says Iran’s only functioning nuclear power plant has so far been targeted four times, with the most recent attack in its vicinity on Saturday killing a security staff member and injuring others.
He warns that such attacks could risk the release of radioactive material from an operating reactor and could have “irreparable consequences” for people, the environment and neighboring countries.
He describes the attacks as a clear breach of international law, and criticizes what he calls the agency’s “lack of decisive action,” saying mere expressions of concern were insufficient and would embolden further attacks.
IDF says failed assassination attempt on Hezbollah operative instead killed opposition official
The IDF acknowledges that an attempt to assassinate a Hezbollah operative near Beirut last night failed, and the strike killed a senior official in an anti-Hezbollah group.
Lebanese media reported that the Israeli Navy strike in Ain Saadeh, east of Beirut, killed Pierre Moawad, a senior official in the Lebanese Forces, a Christian political group that is opposed to Hezbollah, along with his wife.
The IDF says the strike apparently failed to kill the Hezbollah target, and it “regrets the harm” to the civilians.
Iran struck US forces on Kuwait’s Bubiyan island, military spokesperson says
US forces located on Kuwait’s Bubiyan island were targeted by Iran, the spokesperson of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters says in a video statement shared by state media.
Ebrahim Zolfaqari says Iran targeted satellite equipment and munitions on the island with drones, adding that US forces had relocated there from Arifjan camp after that base was repeatedly struck by Iran.
Bubiyan island is the largest of Kuwait’s coastal island chain, located in the northwest of the Gulf.
Six people were injured from debris falling in a residential area in northern Kuwait after an Iranian attack, Kuwait’s health ministry said earlier.

Iranian missile that hit Haifa fragmented midair, leading to failed interception, probe finds
An Israeli Air Force probe has found that the Iranian ballistic missile that struck Haifa yesterday was not intercepted because the missile broke up in the air.
Interceptors fired at the Iranian missile missed because the projectile broke apart and its expected trajectory changed, according to the probe.
A section of the missile, apparently the warhead, struck a residential building in Haifa, causing a partial collapse. However, the warhead did not explode, the investigation found.
Israel ramps up Arrow interceptor production amid reports of depleted stockpile
Israel approves plan to dramatically accelerate the production of Arrow interceptor missiles, the Defense Ministry announces.
According to the ministry, the agreement with Israel Aerospace Industries, “will enable a substantial increase in the production rate and quantity of Arrow interceptors.”
Israel’s Arrow 3 missile defense is currently its most advanced long-range defense system, meant to intercept ballistic missiles — like the type fired from Iran — while they are still outside the Earth’s atmosphere. A single Arrow 3 missile has an estimated price of $2-3 million and takes a few months to produce, although the exact time frame has not been made public by Israel due to security concerns.
Foreign reports throughout the war have indicated that Israel is rationing its Arrow interceptors.
Defense Minister Israel Katz denies that Israel is running low.
“Israel has sufficient interceptors to protect its citizens, and the current move is intended to ensure continued operational freedom and the necessary endurance,” he says in the Defense Ministry statement. “The Ayatollah regime should know: Israel is strong and resilient, prepared to continue the campaign as long as necessary, and continues to enhance its defensive and offensive capabilities during combat.”
In December 2025, the Defense Ministry signed a separate deal worth billions of shekels with IAI for the defense firm to expand its production of Arrow 3 interceptor missiles.
The accelerated production program is being led by Moshe Patel, head of the Homa Administration in the Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research and Development (MAFAT).
The Defense Ministry stresses that the US Missile Defense Agency “is a key partner of the Homa Administration in the development and production of Israel’s multi-layered air defense array, which includes the Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome systems. The strategic cooperation between Israel and the United States helps ensure Israel’s technological advantage in air defense.”
Air force strikes 3 airports in Tehran used by Quds force, IDF says
The Israeli Air Force bombed airports in Tehran overnight, saying they were being used by the Quds Force, the extraterritorial arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

4.7-magnitude earthquake off Lebanon coast felt in northern Israel
A 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck the eastern Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Lebanon this morning and was felt in parts of northern Israel, according to the Energy and Infrastructure Ministry.

Israel confirms killing IRGC intel chief in Tehran airstrike
Israel confirms killing the chief of intelligence in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Majid Khademi, in an airstrike in Tehran this morning.
Defense Minister Israel Katz says he was updated on the strike during an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
“Iran’s leaders live with a sense of persecution. We will continue to hunt them down one by one,” Katz says.
Khademi entered the role of IRGC intel chief several months ago, following the killing of his predecessor Mohammad Kazemi by Israel during the June 2025 war. The IRGC is designated as a terrorist organization by the US, Canada, the European Union and others.
Iran reviewing peace proposal but not open to ‘temporary ceasefire,’ senior official says
Iran won’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire,” a senior Iranian official tells Reuters, adding that Tehran views Washington as lacking the readiness for a permanent ceasefire.
The official confirms that Iran has received Pakistan’s proposal for an immediate ceasefire and was reviewing it, adding that Tehran does not accept being pressured to accept deadlines and make a decision.
Gantz urges reopening of schools, as wartime guidelines keep most students at home
Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz demands that the government reopen schools despite the ongoing war with Iran, stating that any educational institution that “has a protected space can and should return.”
“The education system needs to open up and the government needs to save parents the headaches and announce today that unless there is a dramatic change in the situational assessment, the entire education system will return after the holiday,” he says — calling on the government to begin negotiations with teachers and “give the local authorities time to prepare.”
“And most importantly, even though this is not the government’s thing, take responsibility and speak to the public,” Gantz adds.
The IDF Home Front Command on Saturday announced that its current wartime guidelines have been extended until tonight at least, meaning educational activities will remain prohibited in most parts of the country.
Under the current guidelines, educational institutions can operate in areas designated as “yellow,” or at lower risk of attacks, in some areas of the north, south and West Bank — provided there is an adequate shelter that can be reached in time. However, several cities and towns, including Ashkelon, Ariel in the West Bank, and Dimona, announced last month that they would not reopen schools despite being permitted to do so.
The Education Ministry does not possess any data on the existence of bomb shelters in about 50 percent of kindergartens, according to a recent report by the Knesset Research and Information Center.
Meanwhile, 14% of Israeli schools have no protection, while 24% have partial protection. This means that about 466,000 students, comprising roughly one-quarter of the country’s students, lack adequate protection, although the State Comptroller has said that 36% of the Education Ministry’s data is outdated, having last been collected between 2018 and 2021.
Strike kills IRGC intelligence chief, Iranian state media reports
The chief of intelligence in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been killed in a strike, the IRGC announces.
Majid Khademi served as head of the Intelligence Protection Organization of the IRGC and the Intelligence Organization of the IRGC.
In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC announces Khademi’s death following an airstrike this morning.
There is no immediate comment from Israel on the strike.
IDF says troops killed Hezbollah operatives responsible for deaths of 4 soldiers
The IDF says three Hezbollah operatives responsible for the deaths of four soldiers in southern Lebanon last week were killed by troops.
On March 30, Cpt. Noam Madmoni, Staff Sgt. Ben Cohen, Staff Sgt. Maxsim Entis, and Staff Sgt. Gilad Harel — all of the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit — were killed during a clash with Hezbollah gunmen in the village of Beit Lif.
The military says that in recent days, troops of the Nahal Reconnaissance Unit exchanged fire with and killed three Hezbollah gunmen “in close-quarters combat, and afterward, through precise intelligence, it was verified that these were the same terrorists responsible for the soldiers’ deaths.”
Iran Guards say preparing plan for new order in Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they are completing preparations to enforce new operating conditions in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been all but shut since the war with the United States and Israel began.
“The IRGC naval force is completing operational preparations for the Iranian authorities’ #declared_plan for the new Persian Gulf order,” the Guards naval forces say in a post on X.
They warn conditions in the strait “will never return to its former status, especially for the US and Israel.”
Their statement comes after US President Donald Trump renewed threats to strike Iran’s power plants and bridges if the vital shipping route is not reopened.
Iran has allowed only limited traffic through the waterway since the war began on February 28, disrupting the flow of roughly 20 percent of global oil and gas.
Oman’s state news agency said yesterday that Iran and Oman had held talks on easing passage through the strait, which remains effectively closed due to the conflict.
Iranian lawmakers have in recent weeks proposed imposing tolls and taxes on vessels passing through the waterway.
Iran, US receive plan to end hostilities, immediate ceasefire, source says
Iran and the United States have received a plan to end hostilities that could take effect today and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a source familiar with the proposals tells Reuters.
A framework to end hostilities has been put together by Pakistan and exchanged with Iran and the US overnight, the source says, outlining a two-tier approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.
“All elements need to be agreed today,” the source says, adding that the initial understanding would be structured as a memorandum of understanding finalised electronically through Pakistan, the sole communication channel in the talks.
Axios first reported yesterday that the United States, Iran and regional mediators were discussing a potential 45-day ceasefire as part of a two-phase deal that could lead to a permanent end to the war, citing US, Israeli and regional sources.
The source tells Reuters that Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has been in contact “all night long” with US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Under the proposal, a ceasefire would take effect immediately, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with 15-20 days to finalize a broader settlement. The deal, tentatively dubbed the “Islamabad Accord,” would include a regional framework for the Strait, with final in-person talks in Islamabad.
There is no immediate response from the US and Iranian officials. Pakistan’s foreign office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi declines to comment.
The final agreement is expected to include Iranian commitments not to pursue nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets, the source says.
Two Pakistani sources say Iran has yet to commit despite intensified civilian and military outreach.
Low-cost airline AirAsia X to raise fares, cut capacity over Mideast war
Southeast Asia’s largest low‑cost carrier AirAsia X says it’s increasing ticket prices and cutting routes to cushion the impact of the US-Israel war on Iran, but stresses that demand for flights remains high.
The Malaysia‑based no‑frills airline says about 10 percent of its overall flights have been cut so far.
However, it says its planned services to Bahrain, the airline’s first Middle East hub, and a move to expand its network beyond Southeast Asia, are still set to launch in June.
AirAsia X founder Tony Fernandes says higher prices are “unavoidable” and that capacity will be cut on routes “where we don’t believe we can cover the cost of the fuel.”
Many international airlines have hiked fuel surcharges since US-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered the conflict in late February, prompting Tehran to respond by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial artery for global oil supplies.
AirAsia X chief commercial officer Amanda Woo says the Malaysia‑based carrier, which flies to more than 150 destinations across 25 countries, was able to spread operations along routes “where we can recover the high fuel surcharges.”
The airline is also taking measures to try to rein in price hikes, including reducing baggage fees, Woo adds.
UAE says access to Hormuz must be guaranteed in any US-Iran deal
Emirati presidential adviser Anwar Gargash says that any settlement of the US-Iran war must guarantee access through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that a deal that fails to rein in Iran’s nuclear program and its missiles and drones would pave the way for “a more dangerous, more volatile Middle East.”
Iran deputy FM says Trump threats to hit civilian sites could be war crimes
Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, says that US President Donald Trump’s threats to strike power plants and bridges in Iran could amount to war crimes.
“The American president, as the highest official of his country, has publicly threatened to commit war crimes,” Gharibabadi says in a post on X, citing provisions of international law that could be breached.
“The threat to attack power plants and bridges (civilian infrastructure) is a war crime under Article 8(2)(b) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,” he adds.

The ministry says that since the beginning of the war on February 28, 7,035 people have been admitted to hospitals, 130 of whom are currently hospitalized. The casualty figures include soldiers and civilians.
The ministry does not give a breakdown of the causes of the injuries. Some were indirect, such as people injured while trying to reach shelters, rather than as a direct result of missile fire.
Reservist who died by suicide in 2024 recognized as IDF casualty
Maj. (res.) Asaf Dagan, an air force reservist combat navigator who died by suicide in October 2024, has been officially recognized by the IDF and Defense Ministry as a fallen soldier, his family says in a statement.
Dagan was not in active service when he shot himself with his handgun. According to his family, he suffered from PTSD but would regularly show up for reserve duty.
In December 2024, the High Court of Justice ruled that Dagan should receive a military funeral, but still be buried in a civilian cemetery.
The recognition comes after it was announced in late 2025 that reservists and former conscripts who die by suicide linked to service-related psychological trauma would not automatically be classified as fallen soldiers, with each case instead subject to individual review by the IDF.
Dagan’s family, which waged a long legal and public campaign for his recognition, says the decision “corrects a deep injustice.”
“Justice has finally been done,” the family says. “The State of Israel now recognizes our Asaf as he truly was: a combat navigator, officer, paratrooper, reservist and Israeli hero, who devoted his life to the security of the state with endless dedication, and paid a heavy psychological price as a result of his service.”

US appeals court reinstates ruling allowing American terror victims to sue PA, PLO
NEW YORK (AP) — A $656 million judgment against Palestinian authorities has been reinstated by appeals judges, following a US Supreme Court ruling in favor of Americans killed or wounded in terror attacks in Israel.
The decision from the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals comes a decade after it first tossed out a verdict against the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority on the grounds that US courts couldn’t consider lawsuits against foreign groups over overseas attacks that were not aimed at the United States.
But the appeals court reinstated the judgment in light of a Supreme Court ruling last June upholding a 2019 law enacted by Congress to allow the victims’ lawsuits to go forward against the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority.
“We conclude that the original judgment for the plaintiffs should be reinstated. That conclusion is consistent with the plain import of the Supreme Court’s decision,” the judges say in a decision dated March 30.
“Our client families are very relieved that the court has reinstated the judgment without requiring a new trial. They have been waiting for a very long time for justice to be done,” attorney Kent Yalowitz says in an email.
Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, another attorney for the plaintiffs, says she was pleased with the decision after 22 years of litigation.
The victims had sued under the Anti-Terrorism Act, which was signed into law in 1992 to open US courts to victims of international terror attacks.
The victims and their families assert that Palestinian agents either were involved in the attacks or incited them.
The Palestinians have consistently argued that the cases shouldn’t be allowed in American courts.
Emails seeking comment were sent to attorneys for the defendants yesterday.
