Houthis claim ballistic missile and drone attack on Ben Gurion Airport and southern Israel — 7th Houthi attack on Israel since March 28; no confirmed impacts

The Houthis claimed they launched a ballistic missile and several drones targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel and unspecified 'vital IDF military targets' in southern Israel on April 5. The Houthi statement noted the operation was conducted in coordination with Iran and Hezbollah. This marks the seventh Houthi attack on Israel since the group entered the conflict on March 28. ISW has not observed any reports of confirmed impacts at Ben Gurion Airport. The Houthis' involvement appears calibrated to demonstrate solidarity with Iran without triggering immediate US retaliation.

Former Khamenei adviser Velayati threatens Bab el Mandeb Strait disruption on behalf of Axis of Resistance unified command — warns global energy and trade could be disrupted 'with a single signal'

Ali Akbar Velayati, International Affairs Adviser to former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated on X on April 5 that the 'unified command' of the Axis of Resistance views the Bab el Mandeb Strait the same way it views the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that the flow of global energy and global trade could be disrupted 'with a single signal.' The statement suggests Iran is framing the Bab el Mandeb as part of its coercive regional deterrent posture and coordinating with the Houthis, though ISW assesses that Iran does not alone control Houthi decision-making. The threat adds another potential escalation front to an already multi-theater conflict.

Hezbollah fires anti-ship cruise missile at Israeli warship 68 nautical miles off Lebanon — first such attack in the conflict; ship estimated damaged

Hezbollah launched anti-ship cruise missiles targeting an Israeli warship located 68 nautical miles off the coast of Lebanon on April 5 — the first time Hezbollah has used anti-ship cruise missiles in the conflict. Israeli journalists reported that Israel estimates the warship was damaged by the attack. This represents a qualitative escalation in Hezbollah's maritime warfare capability and extends the threat envelope significantly beyond the Lebanese coastline. The attack came as part of Hezbollah's broader claim of 40 attacks against Israeli targets in a 24-hour period between April 4-5.

Trump extends Hormuz shipping ultimatum deadline to 8 PM ET April 7 — threatens strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and bridges if Iran persists

President Trump extended the deadline for Iran to cease attacking shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to 8:00 PM ET on April 7, giving Iran approximately 48 additional hours to comply. Trump threatened that if Iran persists in attacking shipping after the deadline, the US will strike Iranian energy infrastructure and bridges. The extension came amid reported discussions with Iranian officials. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei responded on April 5 by declaring that Iran would continue attacking shipping through the Strait. Pakistani mediation efforts continued with FM Araghchi holding a call with Pakistani FM Ishaq Dar, but Iran pushed for broader maximalist terms rather than accepting the proposed 45-day ceasefire framework.

The IDF struck Hezbollah headquarters and two Amana Fuel Company-owned gas stations in Beirut on April 5. Amana Fuel Company is owned by Hezbollah, operates a network of gas stations in Lebanon, and manages Hezbollah's fuel supplies. The US sanctioned Amana Fuel in February 2020 for supporting Hezbollah. The IDF has now struck over 15 Amana Fuel Company-owned gas stations since the start of Israel's Lebanon campaign on March 2. The strikes are part of a broader effort to degrade Hezbollah's logistics and command infrastructure.

Iran launches cruise missile barrage across Gulf — Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia targeted; energy and government infrastructure hit

Iran launched a coordinated cruise missile barrage targeting four Gulf states on April 5 — four cruise missiles at Kuwait, two at Qatar, one at the United Arab Emirates, and one at Saudi Arabia. The attacks represent a slight tactical shift toward cruise missiles, possibly reflecting missile reserve management or tactical experimentation. Kuwait sustained the most significant damage: Iranian drones hit two power generation and water desalination facilities, the Kuwaiti Ministries Complex building, the Oil Ministry building, and several Kuwait Petroleum Corporation operational facilities. In Bahrain, Iranian drones struck Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) units in Sitra and a BAPCO storage tank, igniting fires. In the UAE, falling debris from intercepted missiles ignited three fires at a Borouge petrochemicals plant in al Ruwais, and debris hit a container vessel at Khor Fakkan Port, injuring four crew members. The IRGC claimed responsibility, stating it targeted 'US-linked oil and gas infrastructure.'

Bank Sepah major computer disruption prevents IRGC salary payments — combined force strikes missile launchers in Kamyaran and Farashband, IRGC 14th Division HQ in Esfahan

Iran's Bank Sepah experienced a major computer network disruption on April 5 that reportedly prevented the bank from paying IRGC personnel and regime military officials. This is the second major disruption since the combined force struck a Bank Sepah building on March 11. Repeated disruptions threaten the regime's ability to pay military personnel, potentially exacerbating desertion challenges. Separately, the combined force struck a Haj Qassem missile launcher in Kamyaran (Kurdistan Province), a missile launcher inside a warehouse in Farashband (Fars Province), and the IRGC Ground Forces 14th Imam Hossein Division and Law Enforcement Command Provincial headquarters in Esfahan.
