A Hezbollah rocket struck the northern Arab Israeli town of Bi'ina in the Western Galilee, wounding two men by shrapnel — a man in his 30s and a man in his 40s, per Magen David Adom. Both received treatment. Structural damage also caused. Part of the sustained D34 Hezbollah barrage: ~130 rockets crossed into Israel in the past 24 hours per IDF.
Bi'ina, Western Galilee, IsraelThe IDF intercepted Iran's fifth ballistic missile wave of D34, which targeted the Jerusalem area. No injuries or direct impacts were reported; sirens activated across the Jerusalem area. Per IDF reporting, Iran fired approximately 20 ballistic missiles at Israel over D34, of which about half were intercepted and half hit open areas 'per protocol.' At least two missiles carried cluster bomb warheads. The IDF assessed that Iran attempted to launch dozens more missiles during the day but a wave of Israeli strikes thwarted the plans — the IAF hit 50 ballistic missile targets with 140+ bombs in a single strike wave.
Jerusalem, IsraelIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it targeted an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes on Iran, per IRGC statement on state media. Amazon Web Services (AWS) operates its Bahrain regional data center (me-south-1) in Manama, providing cloud services to governments, military contractors, and businesses across the Middle East. The IRGC targeting of AWS infrastructure represents the first explicit strike on major Western cloud computing facilities during the conflict.
BahrainArgentina declared Iran's charge d'affaires Mohsen Soltani Tehrani persona non grata and ordered him to leave within 48 hours. The expulsion was in response to an Iranian foreign ministry statement containing 'false, offensive, and improper accusations' against Argentina. Iran had condemned President Milei's designation of the IRGC as a terrorist group as 'an unforgivable offense against the Iranian people.' Argentina becomes the first Latin American country to expel an Iranian diplomat during the war.
Buenos Aires, ArgentinaUN Secretary-General António Guterres called for the war between the US-Israel coalition and Iran to end immediately. The call comes as civilian death tolls mount: at least 1,606 Iranian civilians killed including 244 children; 1,318 Lebanese; 50 in Gulf nations; 17 in Israel; and 13 US service members. Guterres' statement adds to a chorus of international calls for de-escalation following Trump's Wednesday night address threatening 2-3 more weeks of 'extremely hard' strikes.
New York / United NationsAustria denied the United States permission to use Austrian airspace for military operations against Iran, citing its constitutional neutrality law, per Kurier newspaper citing Austria's defense ministry. Austria is one of four EU member states with permanent neutral status (alongside Finland, Sweden, Ireland post-NATO accession). The denial affects potential US transit routes for aircraft supporting the Iran campaign and signals that European neutrality claims are actively being asserted against US military requests.
Vienna, AustriaThe Iranian government confirmed that a strike had destroyed the Pasteur Institute of Iran, a historic scientific research facility in central Tehran founded in 1920. The institute is Iran's premier biomedical research center and is responsible for vaccine production and pharmaceutical development. The destruction of the Pasteur Institute — one of the oldest and most internationally recognized scientific institutions in the Middle East — marks a significant escalation in the targeting of scientific and civilian infrastructure.
Tehran, IranThe Israeli Air Force struck several headquarters in Iran that manage finances for Iran's military forces, weapons manufacturing, and proxy organizations — including Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi, and Iraqi militias. The IDF disclosed that Iran channels approximately $1-2 billion per year to Hezbollah alone (increasing to $2 billion in 2025), plus hundreds of millions annually to Hamas, Palestinian groups, Houthis, and Iraqi militias via the IRGC Quds Force.
Tehran / IranForeign ministers of 18 European nations issued a joint statement on the one-month mark of the Israel-Lebanon conflict, urging both Israel and Hezbollah to stop fighting and calling on Israel to 'fully respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity.' Signatories include Italy, Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Ireland. The statement directly challenges Israel's buffer zone plans and Hezbollah's continued rocket attacks, representing the broadest coordinated European voice yet on the Lebanon front of the war.
Brussels / EuropeThe CMA CGM Kribi, a Malta-flagged container vessel owned by French shipping giant CMA CGM, crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday April 2 — the first known Western European-owned ship to do so since Iran effectively closed the strait in late February. The vessel switched its destination to 'Owner France' to signal its nationality to Iranian authorities, then turned off its AIS transponder during passage.
Strait of Hormuz, Persian GulfLebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam warned that Israeli military actions point to 'a significant expansion in the occupation of Lebanese territory' including plans to establish a buffer zone up to the Litani River (effectively occupying ~10% of Lebanon). Salam declared Lebanon a victim of 'a war of others,' called for Arab and international support, and stated: 'We will spare no effort to mobilize Arab and international support.' The statement follows Lebanon's March 2026 ban on Hezbollah military activities and partial disarmament south of the Litani.
Beirut, LebanonHezbollah fired five rockets at the coastal city of Nahariya, damaging a daycare facility according to rescue services. No injuries were reported. The attack extends D34 Hezbollah fire progressively southward: 50+ rockets at Kiryat Shmona (morning) → 5 rockets at Haifa suburbs (afternoon) → 5 rockets at Nahariya with daycare damage (evening). The daycare hit signals rockets are landing in populated civilian areas rather than open ground.
Nahariya / Northern Israel coastParents of dozens of troops from the Nahal Brigade's Reconnaissance Unit sent a letter to PM Netanyahu, Defense Minister Katz, and IDF commanders decrying 'heavy losses and a lack of the full range of means to carry out the mission.' The parents explicitly attribute the shortage of air cover to the IAF's focus on striking Iran. Four soldiers from the unit were recently killed and several wounded fighting Hezbollah. The letter reveals a significant strategic tension: the Iran air campaign is drawing resources from the Lebanon ground campaign, creating front-line risk for IDF infantry.
Tel Aviv / Southern LebanonA fire broke out near Mashhad airport in northeastern Iran after a projectile struck a fuel tank, per Mehr news agency citing the governor's office of Khorasan Razavi province. No casualties are reported; firefighting operations were underway. Mashhad is Iran's second-largest city (~3 million population) and the country's major religious center (Imam Reza shrine). The strike represents a dramatic geographic expansion: Mashhad is approximately 900 km northeast of Tehran, in the far corner of Iran, demonstrating the strike campaign's reach across the entire country.
Mashhad, IranTwo soldiers from the Nahal Brigade's Reconnaissance Unit were lightly wounded in a close-range firefight with a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon. The troops killed the operative and subsequently located a weapons cache in the area. Both wounded soldiers were taken to hospital. The clash is part of ongoing IDF ground operations in southern Lebanon, occurring on the same day parents of the unit wrote to Netanyahu about lack of air support.
Southern LebanonIsraeli Defense Minister Israel Katz directly threatened Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem by name following D34 rocket fire on Israeli civilians during the Passover Seder. Katz: 'You and your associates will pay a very heavy price for the intensified fire toward Israeli civilians as they sit to celebrate the Passover Seder. You will not live to see this because you will be deep in the depths of hell together with Nasrallah, Khamenei, Sinwar and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil.' The direct personal naming of Qassem — alongside confirmed killed leaders — signals Israeli targeting intent.
Tel Aviv, IsraelHezbollah fired approximately five rockets from Lebanon at the Krayot suburbs of Haifa. The IDF reported that most rockets were intercepted; others were allowed to fall in open areas 'according to protocol.' No injuries were reported. The Krayot area comprises a cluster of suburbs north of Haifa with a combined population of ~150,000. The attack marks a geographic expansion of D34 Hezbollah fire from the border area (Kiryat Shmona, 50+ rockets this morning) southward toward Israel's third-largest metropolitan area.
Krayot / Haifa suburbs, IsraelCENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper issued an operational assessment on April 2 stating the US-Israeli campaign against Iran — Operation Epic Fury — is making 'undeniable progress in eliminating Iran's ability to project power in meaningful ways outside of its borders' as the operation enters its second month (week 5). The statement was released as Trump delivered his national address and Iran's IRGC simultaneously counter-claimed that its capabilities remained intact. Cooper's assessment names the campaign's specific goal as 'eliminating Iran's ability to project power' — not regime change or nuclear disarmament.
CENTCOM / Middle EastMohammad Bagher Qalibaf, speaker of Iran's parliament and a figure discussed as a potential US negotiating partner, claimed on X that seven million Iranians have signed up to fight a US ground invasion in under a week. State media and text message campaigns have urged volunteering; the paramilitary Basij force is now accepting children as young as 12. Qalibaf is the first senior official to formally cite the 7 million figure. The claim has been circulating on social media but cannot be independently verified.
