WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.
JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23 Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)
Trump announces destruction of Iran's tallest bridge.
Washington, United States, April 2 (AFP) Apr 02, 2026-US President Donald Trump said Thursday the tallest bridge in Iran had been destroyed, hours after threatening to bomb the country "back to the Stone Ages."Ghodratollah Seif, the deputy governor of Alborz province, where the B1 bridge is located, said the strike had killed eight people and wounded 95 others,according to state TV and Fars news agency.Due to reporting restrictions, AFP is not able to access the sites of strikes nor to independently verify tolls in Iran.Trump posted footage on social media of smoke rising from the B1 bridge in Karaj, around 20 miles (35 kilometers) southwest of Tehran -- and warned that there would be further destruction unless Iran comes to the table to end the five-week war."The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again - Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!" Trump said.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X: "Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender."It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray."Iranian state television had earlier reported two US-Israeli strikes on the bridge."A few minutes ago, the American-Zionist enemy once again targeted the B1 bridge in Karaj," state TV said, adding that an initial strike had caused two civilian casualties.It said the later attack took place as emergency teams were deployed to the site to help victims of the first strike.The B1 bridge, which was still under construction, is the Middle East's tallest according to Fars/Iranian media, with a 447-foot (136-meter) column.Trump delivered a speech Wednesday in which he argued that the war launched by the United States and Israel on February 28 was almost over -- even as he threatened to bomb Iran "extremely hard" if it didn't bow to his demands."Over the next two to three weeks, we are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong," he said in his first prime-time address to the nation on the war.
Iran vows 'crushing' attacks as strikes hit regional infrastructure.
Tehran, April 3 (AFP) Apr 03, 2026-Iran and its allies traded fire with Israel and the United States, as Washington-linked assets across the Middle East were targeted alongside civilian infrastructure -- with the month-long war on Friday showing little sign of easing.Strikes have increasingly targeted economic and industrial sites, raising fears of wider disruption to global energy supplies and deepening the conflict's impact beyond the battlefield.Iran said its latest wave of attacks had struck targets in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel in retaliation for earlier US-Israeli strikes on its industrial facilities.They included "American steel industries in Abu Dhabi, American aluminium industries in Bahrain, and the Rafael arms factories of the Zionist regime", it said.Israel's military warned Friday that its air defences were operating to down missiles fired from Iran, although there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.Fresh explosions had earlier been reported in the Tehran area, with Iranian state television reporting US-Israeli strikes hit a bridge in the northern town of Karaj twice -- the first causing civilian casualties and the second striking as emergency teams responded.US President Donald Trump -- who on Wednesday threatened to bomb the Islamic republic "back to the Stone Ages" -- maintained his harsh rhetoric as he posted on social media that the bridge had been sent "tumbling down" and promising "much more to follow".The country's two largest steel plants have also been forced offline by repeated US and Israeli strikes, companies said.Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels said they had launched a fourth attack on Israel, firing a "barrage of ballistic missiles" at targets in the Tel Aviv area.Despite the bombardment in Iran, families gathered in Tehran's Melat Park, with men smoking water pipes and children playing to mark the 13th day after Nowruz, the Persian New Year, when people traditionally picnic outdoors.A resident said checkpoints manned by Revolutionary Guards had increased across the city."They gather in the streets in order to show people that they are still in power and nothing is gonna change," said the 30-year-old man, who requested his name not be used.In Israel, Passover celebrations continued, though some marked the holiday underground."This is not my first choice," said a writer named Jeffrey at a meal in a Tel Aviv bunker.- Strait tensions -The conflict has also intensified pressure on global shipping, with the Strait of Hormuz -- a conduit for one-fifth of the world's oil -- effectively closed by Iran.British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper convened around 40 countries to demand its "immediate and unconditional" reopening, while Italy called for a humanitarian corridor to avert a food crisis in Africa.Tehran said it was drafting a post-war framework with Oman to oversee maritime traffic, though talks have yet to begin.The head of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, meanwhile called for UN backing to protect shipping through the strait, warning that Iran had blocked commercial vessels and imposed conditions on passage.Bahrain has proposed a draft UN Security Council resolution that would authorise the use of force to ensure free transit, though the US-backed measure has divided members ahead of a vote.Against that backdrop, Trump has warned that further strikes could target Iran's energy infrastructure if no deal is reached.He said Washington had "our eyes on key targets", including power plants, while also suggesting Tehran's new leadership could prove "more reasonable" in potential talks.Iran has dismissed US overtures as "maximalist and irrational", saying messages had been passed through intermediaries but no direct negotiations were underway.The country's health ministry said the Pasteur Institute, a century-old medical centre in Tehran, had been heavily damaged in a strike.In Lebanon, Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah said it launched drones and rockets at northern Israel, a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed a senior commander, according to two sources. Lebanese authorities said seven people died in the strike.Eighteen European countries have urged both sides to halt fighting amid fears Israel could seize territory in southern Lebanon.Amy Pope, head of the International Organization for Migration, warned of "very alarming" risks of prolonged displacement.- Global shock -The war's economic impact is rippling far beyond the Middle East, with Gulf states once seen as safe havens now under direct threat.Air defences in the United Arab Emirates intercepted missiles and drones, while global markets reacted nervously to the latest escalation.Oil prices surged to around $110 a barrel Thursday after Trump warned of further strikes, even as equity markets struggled for direction.Analysts said the president's latest remarks failed to provide clarity on an exit strategy, with Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid noting there was "no signal of the US seeking an imminent off-ramp".The World Bank warned of mounting risks to inflation, jobs and food security worldwide.Airlines in China are raising fuel surcharges, while Malaysia has asked civil servants to work from home.Iraq's oil revenues have plunged more than 70 percent month-on-month, an official said.Pakistan has also sharply raised fuel prices, with petrol up more than 40 percent and diesel more than 50 percent in response to the global energy shock.Even the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is feeling the strain, with fuel shortages triggering long queues in the capital Thimphu."We are helpless," said resident Karma Kalden.
Israel under fire from Iran missiles as Trump issues new warning.
Jerusalem, April 3 (AFP) Apr 03, 2026-Israel said Friday it was under attack from a new barrage of Iranian missiles, as President Donald Trump warned the United States had yet to begin "destroying what's left" with more of the Islamic republic's infrastructure in his sights.The war started more than a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, triggering retaliation that spread the conflict throughout the Middle East, convulsing the global economy and impacting millions of people worldwide.The Strait of Hormuz -- a conduit for one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas -- has come into sharp focus after Iran effectively closed it, with Gulf nations pushing for a force to protect shipping there, but a UN vote set for Friday was delayed.Trump has threatened to bomb Iran "back to the Stone Ages" and warned US attacks would intensify if Tehran did not reach a negotiated settlement, while Iran has vowed in response to carry out "crushing" attacks against the US and Israel.Israel's military reported a new missile salvo from Iran on Friday, with its air defences operating to down them, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.Israeli emergency services reported some damage to houses and cars from an unintercepted cluster missile, while Israeli military radio said a train station in Tel Aviv was damaged by shrapnel.The Iranian fire came as Trump said the US military "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!" on his Truth Social platform, several hours after saying Iran's tallest bridge had been destroyed.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted online that "striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender."Strikes from both sides have increasingly targeted economic and industrial sites, raising fears of wider disruption to global energy supplies and deepening the conflict's impact beyond the battlefield.- New Gulf attacks -Gulf states once seen as safe havens have become direct threats, accused by Iran of serving as launchpads for US strikes.A drone attack on a refinery owned by Kuwait's national oil company on Friday sparked fires at several of its units, state media said, while the oil-rich emirate's air defences responded to new missile and drone attacks.Iran said one of its latest attacks a day earlier had struck targets in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel.They included "American steel industries in Abu Dhabi, American aluminium industries in Bahrain, and the Rafael arms factories of the Zionist regime", it said.Despite the ongoing bombardment in Iran, families gathered in Tehran's Melat Park, with men smoking water pipes and children playing to mark the 13th day after Nowruz, the Persian New Year, when people traditionally picnic outdoors.A resident said checkpoints manned by the country's Revolutionary Guards had increased across the city."They gather in the streets in order to show people that they are still in power and nothing is gonna change," said the 30-year-old man, who requested his name not be used.In Israel, Passover celebrations continued, though some marked the holiday underground."This is not my first choice," said a writer named Jeffrey at a meal in a Tel Aviv bunker.- Global impact -The war's economic impact is rippling far beyond the Middle East.Oil prices surged to around $110 a barrel on Thursday after Trump warned of further strikes on Iran. Oil markets were closed on Friday.Analysts said that Trump's prime-time address to the nation failed to provide clarity on an exit strategy from the war, with Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid noting there was "no signal of the US seeking an imminent off-ramp".The World Bank warned of mounting risks to inflation, jobs and food security worldwide.Airlines in China are raising fuel surcharges, Malaysia has asked civil servants to work from home and Pakistan has sharply raised fuel prices.Even the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is feeling the strain, with fuel shortages triggering long queues in the capital Thimphu."We are helpless," said resident Karma Kalden.Egypt has ordered shops, restaurants and shopping malls to close from 9:00 pm on weekdays, hoping to curb energy bills that have more than doubled because of the war.Trump, whose administration has been accused of giving mixed messages about the war's end game, has suggested that Tehran's new leadership could prove "more reasonable" in potential peace talks.Iran has dismissed US overtures as "maximalist and irrational".- UN vote delayed -There was a flurry of diplomatic activity on Thursday over what to do about the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has virtually blocked since the war began.It has impacted global supplies of vital commodities including oil, liquid natural gas and fertiliser, triggering a sharp rise in energy prices.British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper convened about 40 countries to demand its "immediate and unconditional" reopening."Iran is trying to hold the global economy hostage in the Strait of Hormuz. They must not prevail," Cooper said in a statement.Underlining the wider repercussions, Italy called for a "humanitarian corridor" for fertiliser and other essentials through the waterway to avoid a food disaster in Africa.The UN Security Council postponed a vote scheduled for Friday on authorising the use of "defensive" force to protect shipping in the strait from Iranian attacks, according to the official programme.The 15-member body was set to vote Friday morning on a draft resolution brought by Bahrain, but by Thursday night the schedule shifted.The reason given was that the United Nations observes Good Friday as a public holiday, according to diplomatic sources -- despite this fact being known when the vote was first announced.No new date has been given for voting on the draft.bur-pst/jfx
Argentina declares Iranian envoy persona non grata, gives him 48 hours to leave-Expulsion of Mohsen Tehrani follows Iran’s ‘offensive’ response to IRGC terrorist designation, failure to cooperate with probe of 1994 Jewish community bombing, Argentina says By Cecilia Lazzaro Blasbalg and Agencies 2 April 2026, 10:58 pm
Argentina on Thursday declared Iranian charge d’affaires Mohsen Tehrani “persona non grata” and gave him 48 hours to leave, the nation’s foreign ministry said, as the US-Israeli war against Iran entered its second month.According to the statement, the move came in response to “false, offensive, and improper accusations” by Tehran, which on Wednesday accused Buenos Aires of “siding with the aggressors” and violating international law by declaring Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terror group.Iran’s accusations “constitute unconstitutional interference in our country’s internal affairs and a deliberate misrepresentation of decisions adopted in accordance with international law and national judicial order,” Argentina’s foreign ministry said.The decision to expel Iran’s envoy was also due to Iran’s “persistent refusal” to cooperate with a probe into the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85 people and wounded more than 300 at the Jewish community center, in the worst such attack in Argentine history, Argentina’s foreign ministry said.Argentina has an “unbreakable commitment to the memory, justice and fight against terrorism, in complete adherence to international law,” it said.Argentine courts have long blamed Iran for both that attack and another explosion at the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 that killed 29 people and wounded 200.Iran denies involvement and has refused to hand over any suspects, including senior Iranian military officer Ahmad Vahidi, who was named IRGC chief after his predecessor and much of Iran’s top brass were killed at the start of the US-Israeli bombing campaign in Iran on February 28.Argentina is home to the largest Jewish community in Latin America, with nearly 300,000 people living mostly in Buenos Aires.Under President Javier Milei, who took office in late 2023, Argentina has been a close ally of Israel and the US.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
40 nations attend UK-led talks on stopping Iran from holding world ‘hostage’ in Hormuz-Countries represented include France, Germany and UAE, but not US; Macron says military operation to open strait ‘unrealistic’ as Gulf nations push such action By Agencies 2 April 2026, 9:19 pm
About 40 countries discussed joint action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to stop Iran holding “the global economy hostage,” Britain said Thursday, after US President Donald Trump said securing the waterway was for others to resolve.Tehran has effectively shut down the key waterway, which normally carries about a fifth of the world’s oil shipments, after the US and Israel launched a bombing campaign on Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said Iran’s “recklessness” in blockading the Persian Gulf waterway was “hitting our global economic security” as she chaired the virtual meeting, which included France, Germany, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and India, but not the US.“We have seen Iran hijack an international shipping route to hold the global economy hostage,” said Cooper.“Unsustainable” spikes in oil and food prices were “hitting households and businesses in every corner of the world,” she said in opening remarks broadcast to the media before the rest of the meeting took place behind closed doors.European officials said Thursday’s initial meeting focused on which countries were prepared to participate in the proposed coalition and the diplomatic and economic options available to persuade Iran to open the strait.Although the meeting ended without any specific agreements, there was a consensus Iran should not be able to introduce transit fees on ships using the waterway and all nations should be able to use it freely, one of the officials said.The next stage of talks will be held when military planners meet next week to discuss options, including potential mine-clearing work and providing a reassurance force for commercial shipping.Meanwhile, the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) called Thursday for the UN Security Council to authorize the use of force to protect the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian attacks.“Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, prevented commercial vessels and oil tankers from transiting, and imposed conditions on some to pass through the strait,” said the GCC secretary-general, Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi.He was speaking in New York at the first Security Council meeting on cooperation with the GCC, which comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman.“We call upon the Security Council to assume its full responsibility and take all necessary measures to protect maritime routes and ensure the safe continuation of international navigation,” AlBudaiwi said.Bahrain has proposed a draft resolution that would greenlight states to use “all necessary means” to assure free transit through the Strait of Hormuz.Macron: Military operation ‘unrealistic’ Speaking on a visit to South Korea, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that a military operation to liberate the Strait of Hormuz was “unrealistic,” while lamenting Trump’s differing daily statements on the Iran war and NATO.“It would take an indefinite amount of time, and it would expose all those who venture through this strait to coastal risks from the Revolutionary Guards, as well as ballistic missiles,” he said.“There are those who advocate for the liberation of the Strait of Hormuz by force through a military operation, a position sometimes expressed by the United States,” said Macron, adding: “I say sometimes because it has varied, it is never the option we have chosen, and we consider it unrealistic.”The comments came after Trump on Wednesday told UK newspaper The Telegraph that he was seriously considering quitting NATO because of its failure to join the fight against Iran.Trump, whose country is not a major importer of oil via the Strait of Hormuz, also said in a speech later Wednesday that the strait would open “naturally” once the conflict ended, and called on countries that use the waterway to show “courage” and seize it.European countries had refused to send their navies to the strait because of fears of getting dragged into the conflict, but concern over rising energy costs has prompted them to try to form a coalition to see how they can defend their own interests.European diplomats said putting the coalition together was at an early stage, with Britain and France leading. The US was not involved.France’s Armed Forces spokesperson Guillaume Vernet told a news conference on Thursday that the process would be multi-phased and could “only take place once the intense phase of the bombing is over.”There would also eventually need to be coordination with Iran to ensure that there will be security guarantees for ships, Vernet said, something that is unlikely for now.Talks had also started on what military assets could be provided, he said.“We will need to assemble a sufficient number of vessels and have coordination capabilities in the air, at sea, as well as the ability to share intelligence,” said Vernet.About 20,000 seafarers on 200 vessels have been left trapped following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, according to UN.In a briefing Thursday, the Lloyd’s List Intelligence shipping data firm said there have been 23 direct attacks on commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf, with 11 crew members killed, since the Iran war began on February 28.What remains of the strait’s maritime traffic is dominated by sanctions-evading tankers carrying Iranian oil, the firm said, adding that a murky operation under which Iran vets who can pass continues to operate as Tehran maintains its chokehold over the waterway.Commodities carriers have made just 225 crossings of the Strait since March 1, marking a 94-percent decrease on peacetime, according to maritime intelligence firm Kpler.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Israel comes under repeated missile fire on Passover as Tehran vows ‘crushing’ blows-Attacks launched by Iran, Houthis and Hezbollah cause few injuries; major Iranian bridge hit in American strikes as US president threatens to bomb Iran ‘back to Stone Ages’By Emanuel Fabian,Agencies and ToI Staff 2 April 2026, 5:56 pm.
Israel came under attack from Iran, Yemen’s Houthis and Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Thursday, as Tehran and its proxies increased their assaults amid the Passover holiday.Iran on threatened “crushing” attacks on the US and Israel after US President Donald Trump vowed to bomb the Islamic Republic “back to the Stone Ages.”The war, which erupted more than a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, has spread throughout the Middle East and roiled the global economy, impacting hundreds of millions of people worldwide.Iran launched several missiles at Israel overnight Wednesday and throughout Thursday, the first days of Passover, targeting the country’s center and north. Emergency forces responded to several impact sites, as four people were reported lightly injured in the Tel Aviv area.The IDF said Thursday evening that Iran had launched some 20 ballistic missiles at Israel over the previous day, marking an uptick in the rate of fire compared to recent weeks.Around half of the missiles were intercepted, and half were allowed to hit open areas, “according to protocol,” the military said. At least two missiles carried cluster bomb warheads, which spread bomblets over wide areas in central Israel, lightly injuring several people and causing damage.The military assessed that Iran tried to launch dozens more ballistic missiles to coincide with the Jewish holiday, but a wave of Israeli strikes thwarted the plans.Footage posted to social media showed the moment an Iranian ballistic missile struck the central city of Petah Tikva on Saturday afternoon. No injuries were reported.There are no reports of injuries. pic.twitter.com/c21gBIliJd — Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) April 2, 2026-A ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen at Israel was intercepted on Thursday evening, after sirens sounded in Jerusalem, the surrounding area and near the Dead Sea. No injuries were reported.Hezbollah fired some 130 rockets at northern Israel during the holiday, lightly injuring four people.Amid the ramped-up missile launches, Iranian military command center Khatam Al-Anbiya put out a statement carried on state TV warning the US and Israel to expect “more crushing, broader, and more destructive actions.”“With trust in Almighty God, this war will continue until your humiliation, disgrace, permanent and certain regret, and surrender,” said the statement.Following an American strike on a major Iranian bridge, Iran threatened to target major highways across Israel, including Routes 1, 2, 4 and 6.In a prime-time White House address Wednesday night, Trump said the US was “very close” to achieving its objectives but warned attacks would intensify if Iran did not reach a negotiated settlement.“Over the next two to three weeks, we are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong,” Trump said in a 19-minute speech delivered in front of American flags.In some of the first major strikes since Trump’s speech, the key B1 highway bridge linking Iran’s capital Tehran to the western city of Karaj was hit Thursday by airstrikes, according to state media, which said eight were killed and 95 wounded in the attack. The B1 bridge is considered the Middle East’s highest bridge and was inaugurated earlier this year, Fars news said.Around an hour later, Fars reported fresh airstrikes on the bridge, which it said was hit while “rescue forces were assisting the victims of the first attack.”The strikes were carried out by the American military. The IDF denied striking the bridge.Axios cited an unnamed US official as claiming the bridge — which some reports said was still under construction — had nevertheless been secretly used by Iran’s armed forces to transport missiles and missile parts and to give Iran’s military in Tehran logistical support.Later, Trump shared footage of the strikes in a post on his Truth Social account, saying: “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!”“IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!” Trump threatened.The US had hitherto largely avoided targeting Iranian civilian infrastructure and even warned Israel against hitting Iranian energy sites, as Washington has sought to avoid turning Iran into a failed state.But Trump appears determined to further ramp up the pressure against the Islamic Republic, even as the latter doesn’t appear poised to accept Washington’s ceasefire demands.IDF kills ballistic missile commander in western Iran-The Israeli military continued striking regime targets in Iran throughout Thursday, hitting ballistic missile launchers and military financial hubs and killing several top military officials, including the commander of ballistic missile forces in western Iran’s Kermanshah region.“During the holiday, we eliminated Mukram Azimi, the commander of the ballistic missile unit in the Kermanshah area. Azimi was responsible for many missile launches at Israel,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said in a press conference.Three battalion commanders in Iran’s ballistic missile forces, “who led the fire on Israel” were also killed, Defrin said.Additionally, the IDF confirmed killing Jamshid Eshaghi, a top Iranian general, in an airstrike in Iran over the weekend.The military identified Eshaghi as the chief of Iran’s “oil headquarters.” Officially, he served as the head of budget and financial affairs at Iran’s armed forces general staff, a military body that coordinates between the regular army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.Jamshid Eshaghi, an advisor to the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, was killed in a targeted attack in Tehran in recent days, along with five members of his family, according to Iranian media. pic.twitter.com/e6BKMoYB64 — Al Arabiya English (@AlArabiya_Eng) March 31, 2026-The military said the oil HQ is an “integral part of the regime’s armed forces, enabling the continuation of their activities and military buildup through profits from oil sales.”On Wednesday, the IRGC confirmed the killing of Eshaghi following the Israeli strike on Saturday.The IDF also published footage of a wave of strikes it carried out against ballistic missile launchers in western and central Iran during the Passover holiday, saying it thwarted additional barrages on Israel.According to the military, Israeli Air Force fighter jets dropped some 140 bombs on 50 targets of Iran’s ballistic missile array, including launchers.A video released by the IDF showed an F-35I fighter jet identifying a ballistic missile launcher and striking it before it could be used to attack Israel.Talks said continuing amid threats-Trump has recently raised the possibility of a deal to end the war, which has pushed up fuel prices in the US and around the world and pushed down his approval ratings.He said talks could be possible with Iran’s new leadership, which he described as “less radical and much more reasonable” than their predecessors, and warned that if no agreement was struck, Washington had “our eyes on key targets, including the country’s electric generating plants.”But Tehran has dismissed Washington’s ceasefire overtures, describing US demands to end the conflict as “maximalist and irrational.”“Messages have been received through intermediaries, including Pakistan, but there is no direct negotiation with the US,” said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, quoted by the ISNA news agency on Thursday.According to Channel 12, US Vice President JD Vance is leading the talks for the US, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf representing the Islamic Republic. The negotiations are being mediated by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, the outlet added.According to the report, the most recent exchange took place on Tuesday, when Vance allegedly conveyed that Washington is open to a ceasefire if Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz – a key US demand amid the ongoing war.Vance also warned that Trump’s patience is wearing thin, while an American source cited in the report said the US would need roughly two-to-three weeks to strike all previously identified targets – during which time the US is hoping to strike a deal.Economic pressure continues-Meanwhile, Iran’s two largest steel plants have been forced out of action by several waves of US and Israeli attacks, the companies have said.“Our initial estimate is that restarting these units will take at least six months and up to one year,” Mehran Pakbin, deputy head of operations at the Khuzestan Steel Company, was quoted as saying by the Mizan Online website on Thursday.Mobarakeh Steel Company in the central province of Isfahan said that its “production lines have completely shut down following the high volume of attacks.”Both plants have suffered repeated strikes since last week.“All modules and steelmaking furnaces of this industrial complex have been damaged,” Pakbin was quoted by Mizan as saying.Mobarakeh Steel said late Wednesday on its website that after the attacks, “continuation of operations is not possible.”Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have launched missile and drone strikes on industrial areas across the region and Israel in retaliation for the attacks on the steel plants, and have threatened further retaliation if such attacks happen again.The conflict has drawn in Gulf countries once seen as a safe haven in a volatile region, with air defenses in the United Arab Emirates responding to missile and drone threats on Thursday.Trump vowed the United States would not allow allies in the region — Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain — to “get hurt or fail in any way, shape or form.”Despite Trump’s vow to protect the Gulf states, an Amazon cloud computing operation in Bahrain was damaged Wednesday after an Iranian strike, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said earlier in the day that civil defense teams were extinguishing a fire at a company facility following what authorities described as an Iranian attack.On Thursday, the IRGC confirmed that it had targeted the site, according to state media.Trump’s speech also did nothing to reassure markets, as oil prices spiked and stocks tumbled.The World Bank’s Managing Director Paschal Donohoe told AFP his institution was “extremely concerned” about the war’s impact on inflation, jobs and food security.
Oil prices jump over 7% after Trump vows to continue strikes on Iran-Brent crude futures head for biggest daily gains in weeks, as markets fear Strait of Hormuz will remain closed-By Reuters and ToI Staff 2 April 2026, 4:42 pm
Oil prices climbed nearly 7% on Thursday after US President Donald Trump said he would continue attacks on Iran, stoking fears of prolonged disruptions to oil supply.Brent crude futures were up $7.65, or 7.6%, to $108.81 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up $7.06, or 7.1%, at $107.18 per barrel.Both benchmarks were heading for the biggest daily gains, in both absolute and percentage terms, in three weeks, though they remained below highs of over $119 a barrel touched earlier in the conflict.The gains followed drops of more than $1 in both contracts before Trump’s televised speech to the nation on Wednesday.“We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” Trump said. “We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.”While the president stressed several times that the war was close to completion in his speech to the American public, it was unclear how it would end, with The New York Times reporting that multiple US intelligence agencies have assessed in recent days that the Iranian government is not currently willing to engage in substantial negotiations.He also gave no details on any steps that could lead to a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.One-fifth of global oil normally passes through the strait, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed Wednesday to keep it shut to the country’s “enemies.”A British-led virtual meeting of dozens of nations will hold talks on Thursday to “assess all viable diplomatic and political measures that we can take to restore freedom of navigation” in the strait, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Wednesday.Markets are reacting to the absence of any “clear mention of ceasefire or diplomatic engagement” in the speech, said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova.“If tensions intensify or maritime risks increase, oil could test fresh highs as markets price in potential supply disruptions.”Threats to maritime traffic have grown as the conflict intensifies. On Wednesday, an oil tanker leased to QatarEnergy was hit by an Iranian cruise missile in Qatari waters, Qatar’s defense ministry said.Some market participants said they had stopped dealing with cargoes priced off the Dubai Middle East benchmark, normally used to value nearly a fifth of global crude supply, because ports inside the Strait of Hormuz cannot be used.The head of the International Energy Agency also warned that supply disruptions would start to affect Europe’s economy in April, after the region had previously been shielded by cargoes contracted before the start of the war.“The next critical signal for markets lies in Iran’s response and that of the international community, whether President Trump’s pressure will yield action to secure the strait, which has not yet materialized,” Rystad said in a note.Meanwhile, Bahrain’s effort to secure a UN resolution to authorize “all necessary means” to protect commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz ran into new obstacles Wednesday.“There are ongoing communications and discussions with the Council members to bring a convergence of views and find a draft that can garner consensus, so that it can be adopted soon,” Bahrain’s UN ambassador Jamal Fares Alrowaiei said.
US said to deploy additional A-10 Warthog planes to Mideast-US op to seize Iran’s uranium would take weeks, require building a runway — report-Trump reportedly briefed on risky plan, which could require airlift of thousands of troops and heavy equipment to extract buried material, all while forces would be exposed to fire-By Michael Horovitz-2 April 2026, 12:57 pm
A US military option to seize some 450 kilograms of highly enriched uranium would reportedly require flying in excavation equipment and building a runway for cargo planes to fly off with the radioactive material.US President Donald Trump was presented with the plan by his military over the past week, two people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post, though experts said such an operation would take weeks and carry enormous risks to troops.Iran’s stockpile of some 450 kilograms of 60 percent-enriched uranium is believed to be buried under the rubble of sites bombed by the US last year, specifically near Isfahan and the Natanz area.The mission to extract it would demand an airlift of hundreds or even thousands of troops specially trained to remove nuclear material from behind enemy lines, along with heavy equipment, all while operating under Iranian fire, former defense officials told the Post.Personnel, which would include civilian nuclear specialists, would live in a small base instead of a clandestine site, and after forces completed the arduous task of blasting through the rubble to collect uranium, planes would need to take off from a purpose-built runway to carry the material away, the Post reported.“It is slow, meticulous and can be an extremely deadly process,” a former special operator trained for such missions said. Another former defense official described the potential mission as looking like “you’re not just buying a car on the lot, you’re buying the entire assembly line.”Trump said in an address to the nation on Wednesday that the Iranian nuclear sites bombed by the US last June “have been hit so hard that it would take months to get near the nuclear dust. And we have it under intense satellite surveillance and control. If we see [the Iranians] make a move, even a move for it, we’ll hit them with missiles very hard again.”Retired US Gen. Joseph Votel told the Post that a military operation was possible to extract the uranium, but that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) personnel were best equipped to remove the material under a ceasefire.He added that there were “a lot of risks associated” with a military operation.“This is a very high order of complexity. There likely will be casualties,” he added. “But this is the problem set for US Special Operations forces. It’s what we do. We have people who are specifically trained to go into these types of environments.”Another former official said an operation was indeed possible, despite the complexities: “Short of a largely symbolic quick strike to demonstrate we could do more, to recover much or all of the material requires a temporary occupation.”In response to the report, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said the briefing on the plan “does not mean the President has made a decision.”Reports on such an escalatory military operation came as Trump publicly spoke of the war winding down, boasting that the US and Israel were close to completing their key objectives.But two Pentagon officials told The New York Times on Wednesday that Washington is adding 18 A-10 Warthog attack planes to the nearly a dozen it already has deployed in the Middle East.The slow-moving planes, which carry heavy firepower, could be used to assist in a potential ground invasion of territory near the Strait of Hormuz aimed at opening the strategic waterway that Iran has effectively blocked since the beginning of the war, the report said.The presence of the slow-moving planes suggests that Iran’s air defenses are obliterated or heavily weakened, the report added.Israel and the US launched their campaign against Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize the regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile capacities. Iran has responded with missile and drone strikes across the region, and its proxies in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon have also carried out attacks, with Israel launching airstrikes and a ground operation in Lebanon in response to the Hezbollah terror group’s rocket barrages.Agencies and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
'Some of the damage will only emerge at the end'Israelis spend Passover under shadow of Iran war, as businesses cling to survival-Yael Ben Cnaan struggles to keep Tel Aviv flower store afloat during what is meant to be peak period; Finance Ministry says economy losing at least 4.3 billion shekels per week By Theia Chatelle 2 April 2026, 1:24 pm
JTA — The day before Yael Ben Cnaan was set to take over ownership of Bishvil Flowers, a corner flower shop located in the upscale Lev Hair neighborhood, an Iranian cluster munition landed on the street outside.The March 9 impact shattered the store’s windows and left shrapnel holes in the walls. The flowers inside, which Ben Cnaan was unable to access due to police closure of the street, were left to wilt. “In the meantime, the shop was not operating. There was no income, but the expenses continue: rent, payments and commitments I already took on when entering the business,” Ben Cnaan said.All of this took place in the lead-up to the Passover holiday, which, according to Ben Cnaan, is the most important time of year for flower shops like hers.“We depend on the revenue during these weeks to keep us alive,” she said in an interview at her shop.Ben Cnaan was seemingly undeterred by the strike and wasted no time setting up a crowdfunding campaign and posting on Instagram that she would soon reopen with a limited number of orders available for pickup ahead of the holiday. “I don’t have a choice. If I don’t manage to sell bouquets, we would have to close.”An online fundraiser has raised NIS 45,000 (about $14,000), according to Ben Cnaan, allowing her to cover repair costs in the short term. But the long-term survival of the shop, which has become a community staple over its 17 years, remains uncertain.In the Instagram post announcing the limited resumption of sales, she urged community members to consider purchasing bouquets or making donations to help sustain the business. “It will likely not be enough,” Ben Cnaan added.Nearly four weeks into Israel’s war with Iran, which has quickly escalated into a regional conflict, stories like Ben Cnaan’s are commonplace. Businesses are struggling due to widespread closures and damage from Iranian missiles, which have killed 16 Israeli civilians and foreign nationals in Israel, along with four Palestinians in the West Bank, since the start of the war.Now, Israelis are starting the Passover holiday under wartime, with the conflict casting a somber shadow on the celebrations. Iran launched the largest missile salvo since the start of the war as families sat down to their seders on Wednesday night.The missiles punctured efforts to approximate normality in the hours leading up to the holiday. Throughout the day, Israelis preparing their meals had to pause cooking and cleaning to run to their shelters multiple times.With a ban on large public gatherings still in place, major public seders, such as those typically hosted by synagogues in Tel Aviv, had waiting lists hundreds of people long.And hotels hosting Passover retreats saw widespread cancellations as travelers from abroad were unable to get to Israel, and as families changed their plans to stay closer to home.The war has also prompted new reflections on the meaning of the holiday.“We know there were Passover celebrations in all kinds of surreal circumstances. My grandmother told stories about celebrating Passover during the Holocaust,” said Avital Rosenberger, head of the emergency unit at the Israeli branch of the Joint Distribution Committee. “It’s still our mission to remember, to maintain routine and to ask what freedom really means.”The JDC has been on the front lines of assisting Israelis affected by the war, including residents of Beit Shemesh, Arad, and Dimona whose homes were destroyed by ballistic missile strikes.Those involved in relief efforts fear the full scale of the damage will only become clear after the war ends.“We are so deep in it, and I’m not sure we’re seeing the whole picture,” said Rosenberger. “Some of the damage, especially the mental and emotional toll, will only emerge at the end. We already understand what’s coming.”The growing human toll is one dimension of the damage. Ben Cnaan’s example underscores the financial toll of the ongoing war, as well.On the morning of Passover, while many other stores on Lincoln Street remained closed, Ben Cnaan was still at work taking orders and assembling bouquets for last-minute shoppers.A concept and tattoo artist who lives in Tel Aviv, she has worked on films including “Beirut,” starring Jon Hamm, Ben Cnaan worked in the flower shop for years before taking ownership.Because her business sustained physical damage due to the war, she is eligible for state compensation to offset losses and fund limited repairs. But she still fears that she will need to close down if business does not pick up soon.According to estimates from the Finance Ministry, the economy is losing at least 4.3 billion shekels per week due to the fighting. As gas prices continue to rise following disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, civilians, whether affected directly by missile strikes or rising costs, are bearing the burden of the war.For Johnny, who is spending a year volunteering with the JDC on Kibbutz Rosh Hanikra in the north, the toll of the war ahead of the holiday is becoming increasingly stark.“They’re exhausted. They’re absolutely exhausted. And the thought of several more months like this could really break their spirit,” she said.Johnny, who is Israeli but has lived most of her life in the United States, returned before the current round of fighting. She said it has been reassuring to be closer to her mother in the Galilee while volunteering on the kibbutz.“At the same time, the community is incredibly supportive and empowering,” Johnny added. “I know they’ll be OK.”She said she knows her seder plans with a host family in Rosh Hanikra may be interrupted by incoming missiles from Lebanon but remains in good spirits.“We may have to head to the shelter,” she said. “But it’s certainly not the worst conditions for a seder our people have had to endure.”

Entrenches apartheid’: UAE, 7 other Muslim countries blast Israeli death penalty law-Statement by FMs, many from countries which also enforce death penalty, decries law’s discriminatory nature toward Palestinians, says it risks ‘exacerbating tensions’By AFP, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid-2 April 2026, 2:45 pm
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Eight Muslim-majority countries on Thursday lambasted Israel’s passage of a highly controversial death penalty law for West Bank Palestinians convicted of carrying out deadly terror attacks, saying the move further “entrenches a system of apartheid.”The statement was released by foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.“This legislation constitutes a dangerous escalation, particularly given its discriminatory application against Palestinian prisoners,” the joint statement read. “Such measures risk further exacerbating tensions and undermining regional stability,”The countries “warned against the increasingly discriminatory, escalating Israeli practices that entrench a system of apartheid and a rejectionist discourse that denies the inalienable rights and the very existence of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” the statement added.The apartheid charge is not regularly lodged against Israel by Muslim-majority countries, and especially not by the UAE, which has a closer working relationship with Jerusalem than each of the other countries that signed onto the statement.The choice to use the term indicates the extent to which the law has infuriated Israel’s Muslim neighbors.Under the law passed by the Knesset late on Monday, West Bank Palestinians convicted by military courts of carrying out deadly attacks classified as “acts of terrorism” will face the death penalty by default. While judges can opt for life imprisonment under vaguely defined “special circumstances,” the death penalty would otherwise be mandatory and be carried out within 90 days of sentencing.The law has been criticized by the United Nations and European Union, while the United States came out in support of “Israel’s sovereign right to determine its own laws.”Almost all of the countries that signed the statement enforce the death penalty at home, including Saudi Arabia, which alone executed 356 people in 2025.The law effectively enshrines capital punishment for Palestinians only, as it explicitly excludes Israeli citizens or residents, and only Palestinians are tried in military courts. Israelis are tried in civilian courts.Though a separate provision allows courts to impose the death penalty on anyone, including Israeli citizens, it applies only to those who “intentionally cause the death of a person with the aim of denying the existence of the State of Israel” — a definition designed to exclude Jewish terrorists.While the death penalty formally exists in Israeli law, it has been carried out only once — the 1962 execution of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. Until now, Israeli courts could impose capital punishment only under extremely narrow circumstances and only with a unanimous decision from a panel of judges, a threshold that has never been met in terrorism cases.Supporters of the law argue that the measure will strengthen deterrence against terrorism and reduce the incentive for terrorist organizations to abduct Israelis.But senior security officials have long disputed that claim, arguing there is no evidence that capital punishment deters terrorism and warning that it could instead fuel retaliation and escalate violence. Representatives of the IDF, Shin Bet intelligence agency and government ministries voiced such opposition throughout months of Knesset National Security Committee deliberations on the legislation.Following the bill’s passage, several opposition parties, including Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid, Arab-majority Hadash–Ta’al and the left-wing Democrats party, along with several human rights organizations, announced they would petition the High Court of Justice to nullify the law.Fifty-four countries around the world permit the death penalty, including a handful of democracies such as the United States and Japan, according to Amnesty International. The group says that the global trend on the death penalty is toward abolition, with 113 countries having outlawed it for all crimes.
Hezbollah fires some 130 rockets at north on Passover; 4 lightly injured-2 men wounded when rocket hits Kiryat Shmona building, 2 more injured in northern town; IDF says over 40 Hezbollah operatives killed in Lebanon strikes and firefights By Emanuel Fabian-2 April 2026, 3:11 pm
Four people were lightly injured as Hezbollah fired around 130 rockets at northern Israel on Wednesday and Thursday, the start of the Passover holiday, as the military struck dozens of sites in Lebanon belonging to the Iran-backed terror group.The bombardment as Israelis celebrated the first two days of the Passover festival sent hundreds of thousands of people into shelters, as Iran continued to also launch missiles at the country, including the north.Two men, aged 34 and 85, were wounded Thursday when a rocket struck a building in Kiryat Shmona, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.Later, two men in their 30s and 40s were lightly wounded when a Hezbollah rocket struck the northern town of Bi’ina, Magen David Adom emergency personnel said.Footage showed scenes of property damage after the barrages in the north, including a McDonald’s restaurant near Kibbutz Ma’ayan Baruch with many of its windows blown out.Damage was also caused to an empty daycare in the northern city of Nahariya, according to rescue services.Rocket sirens also sounded in the Krayot suburbs of Haifa, though according to the IDF, most of the rockets were intercepted and others were allowed to hit open areas, “according to protocol.” No injuries were reported.The IDF said on Thursday that more than 40 Hezbollah operatives were killed and dozens of sites belonging to the terror group in Lebanon were struck in the past day.The Israeli Air Force bombed dozens of Hezbollah command centers, weapons depots, rocket launchers and anti-tank missile launch posts, according to the military.The IDF said the Israeli Navy also struck a Hezbollah weapons depot in southern Lebanon.Meanwhile, ground forces continued operations in southern Lebanon.The IDF said troops of the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division spotted a cell of Hezbollah operatives and directed a strike against them, and the 36th Division directed a strike on three armed operatives riding motorcycles, killing some 10 more gunmen during their operations.The military said the 146th and 162nd divisions also located numerous weapons and destroyed dozens of Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon in the past day.Hezbollah has been firing hundreds of rockets per day, according to the IDF. However, the vast majority of the daily rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon, with only a few dozen projectiles crossing the border into Israel.The IDF believes Hezbollah still possesses thousands of short-range rockets, along with hundreds of longer-range projectiles. The IDF has said that the terror group is launching most of its attacks from deeper within southern Lebanon, and not from close to the border.Katz threatens Hezbollah chief over rocket fire-Responding to the incessant rocket fire, Defense Minister Israel Katz again threatened Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, saying he will “pay a very heavy price” for the constant attacks on Israel.“I have a clear message for Naim Qassem, secretary-general of the Hezbollah terror organization: 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,” he said, following an assessment with military officials.“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,” Katz added.Israeli officials have said the IDF is establishing a demilitarized “security zone” in southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, until the threat of Hezbollah is removed.The buffer zone would be controlled with surveillance and firepower, as well as ground troops in areas deemed strategically necessary, the military has said.Ten IDF soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah, two civilians were killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed some 1,000 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated when Hezbollah began attacking Israel the day after the war against Iran began.More than 2,500 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapon depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.Lebanese authorities say that at least 1,200 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, but do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.Additionally, some 1.2 million people have been displaced by the fighting in Lebanon, officials have said.
IDF official says disarming Hezbollah unrealistic, not a goal of Lebanon operation-Military to present its buffer zone to plan to political leadership; will involve razing border villages, setting up army posts in south Lebanon By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 12:17 pmUpdated at 12:29 pm-APR 3,26
The Israeli military on Friday said it was set to present to the political leadership its plan to establish a “security zone” in southern Lebanon, which would involve demolishing Lebanese villages near the border and setting up army posts several kilometers inside the country.Meanwhile, a senior military official said that while the Israel Defense Forces aims to significantly weaken Hezbollah and remove the threat the terror group poses to northern residents, the prospect of fully disarming the group was unrealistic and not a “required goal” of the ongoing ground offensive.“Disarming the organization is not a required goal at the end of this campaign,” the military official said, despite previous statements by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Defense Minister Katz saying that Israel would not give up on disarming Hezbollah.The official said that to fully disarm the terror group, it would require the IDF to conquer all of Lebanon, something that is not planned.As a result, the military does not expect to completely halt Hezbollah rocket fire, as most launches originate north of the Litani River. However, short-range projectiles — of which Hezbollah has thousands — are now largely directed at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon rather than civilian communities.The military later clarified in a statement that it was still committed to a “long-term objective” of disarming the terror group.“We clarify that, as the chief of staff has said in the past, the IDF is committed to a long-term objective of disarming Hezbollah. This objective includes a wide range of efforts that will continue over time,” the IDF said.“The current campaign is causing blows to Hezbollah and weakening it, and will advance the achievement of this objective over time,” the army added.The IDF said its buffer zone plan was being coordinated with legal authorities and would soon be presented to the political leadership for approval.Katz has said the IDF would raze all buildings in the first line of villages, and civilians would not be allowed to return south of the Litani River until the Hezbollah threat is removed.The military’s buffer zone plan involves clearing all villages within a few kilometers of the border, except for several Christian communities.The area, up to around four kilometers from the border, would be cleared of Hezbollah infrastructure, and the IDF would establish forward army positions at strategic locations.The IDF said most of those villages were cleared during the last ground offensive in late 2024. However, troops have continued to find weapons and Hezbollah infrastructure in some areas during the current offensive. According to the military, some of it predates the war, while other elements were established during the 2024–2026 ceasefire.Military officials also said Hezbollah was “deeply troubled” by Israel’s intention to continue its offensive against the terror group even after the war in Iran ends.The war in Iran remains the IDF’s primary focus, with Lebanon a secondary front. However, in the event of a ceasefire with Iran, the military is expected to shift most of its attention to Lebanon.IDF troops of the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division operate in southern Lebanon, in a handout photo issued by the military on April 2, 2026. (Israel Defense Forces)-On Friday, the IDF said it killed 15 Hezbollah operatives in a recent airstrike in southern Lebanon, amid the ground operations.In the western sector of southern Lebanon, troops of the 146th Division identified the 15 operatives in their area of operations. A short while later, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them, according to the military.In another incident, the IDF said, the division’s 213th Artillery Regiment identified a cell of Hezbollah operatives who were preparing to fire anti-tank missiles at Israel. An IAF fighter jet then struck and killed the operatives, the military says.The IDF also published footage showing an airstrike on another cell of Hezbollah gunmen in southern Lebanon.According to the military, the Hezbollah operatives were identified by troops of the Givati Brigade on Wednesday. A short while later, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them, the IDF said.The IDF said the Givati troops also located numerous weapons and military equipment belonging to Hezbollah in the area.Five IDF divisions are currently operating in southern Lebanon: the 146th and 162nd divisions in the western sector; the 91st and 36th conducting raids in the eastern sector; and the 210th stationed in the Mount Dov area.Hezbollah has been firing hundreds of rockets per day, according to the IDF. However, the vast majority of the daily rocket fire has been directed at the Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon, with only a few dozen projectiles crossing the border into Israel.Ten IDF soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon amid fighting against Hezbollah, two civilians were killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.The Israeli military has said that it has killed some 1,000 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.More than 3,500 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapon depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.
ICE arrests West Bank-born Wisconsin mosque president over terror funding suspicions-Salah Sarsour was convicted by Israel of rock-throwing as a teenager, moved to the US in 1993; his lawyers and community claim arrest is an attempt to stifle pro-Palestinian voices-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 6:26 am-APR 3,26
The president of Wisconsin’s largest mosque was detained by US federal immigration agents, with authorities saying he was suspected of funding terror groups.Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian-born legal permanent resident of the United States, was taken into custody by nearly a dozen US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who surrounded his car on Monday in Milwaukee after he left his home, according to the Islamic Society of Milwaukee.Supporters called for his immediate release on Thursday. His attorneys said he was detained because he is a foreign policy threat, a claim they argue has no merit.Instead, they assert Sarsour, 53, was targeted for criticizing Israel and for a conviction as a minor by Israeli military courts in the West Bank, including for throwing rocks at Israeli officers.“Our government should not be doing the bidding of a foreign government,” attorney Munjed Ahmad charged. “There’s no question in my mind that this is to stifle the discourse on the Palestinian narrative.”Attorneys said Sarsour, born in the West Bank, has no criminal record in the US, where he has lived for more than 30 years. They said the US government has known about Sarsour’s conviction in Israel since he came to the US in 1993.The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), of which ICE is a part, confirmed his arrest and accused Sarsour of lying on his immigration forms and alleged that he was “suspected of funding terror organizations.”Noting his past conviction, DHS said he was previously “convicted for throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli armed forces.”Sarsour’s attorneys have likened the case to that of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student activist who faces deportation because the federal government said he was a foreign policy threat and supports the Hamas terror group.Sarsour has been the board president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the largest Islamic organization in the US state, for five years. His attorneys say he holds a green card and lives just outside Milwaukee. His wife and four adult children are US citizens.At a crowded news conference, boisterous supporters chanted for Sarsour’s release, recounting his advocacy for those in need. Several recalled Sarsour’s stories about his childhood, including allegations of inhumane treatment while being detained by Israel.“He was targeted because of one thing, because he dared stand up to the Israeli army,” Othman Atta, one of Sarsour’s attorneys, told the crowd. “And he was not a US citizen.”The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited Atta, also the executive director of the mosque, as saying that deportation documents focused on Sarsour’s arrest as a teenager living in the West Bank to argue he provided material support for extremists. Atta denied that Sarsour supported Hamas.A diverse group of religious leaders in attendance called Sarsour a valuable community member.“This appears to be just the latest example of how this administration seeks to silence opposition and intimidate those who speak and act differently,” said the Rev. Paul D. Erickson, bishop of the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.Sarsour’s arrest also prompted outcry from elected officials, including Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, who called it “an outrage.”“He is a legal permanent resident. There is no substantive evidence he has done anything wrong,” Johnson said Thursday in a post on X. “This is another example of overreach and harm from the US immigration authorities.”Sarsour is being held at a county jail in Indiana. His attorneys have filed a petition seeking his release.“He is ready to fight tooth and nail to make sure that he’s not dragged through the mud,” Ahmad said. “He wants to stay in this country.”
Germany bans planned rally against Israel’s ‘genocide’ at Buchenwald former Nazi camp-Organizers appeal move in court; Jewish leader has slammed ‘perfidious attempt to relativize the murder of over 11,000 Jews… by comparing it to Israel’s actions in recent Gaza war’By Shira Li Bartov Today, 4:48 am-APR 3,26
JTA — German authorities have shut down a planned anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian vigil at the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp memorial after a fierce outcry.The rally had been slated for April 12, marking the 81st anniversary of Buchenwald’s liberation by US troops. But the city of Weimar said on Monday it would ban the event on the memorial grounds and offered a downtown square as an alternative location.Kufiyas in Buchenwald, the group behind the campaign, announced it was challenging the ban in court. The group said it aimed to “commemorate victims of genocide and fascism” and “uplift the fundamental duty to fight against all genocides, particularly the genocide currently taking place in Palestine.”The planned event had been heavily criticized by German leaders, such as federal antisemitism czar Felix Klein. In an interview with the Jüdische Allgemeine, Klein said he viewed the rally as “disrespectful self-promotion and a perfidious attempt to relativize the murder of over 11,000 Jews in the Buchenwald concentration camp by comparing it to Israel’s actions in the recent Gaza war.”The campaign was also protested in a joint statement by a coalition of 17 organizations, including several Jewish communal and academic groups. They accused the organizers of “instrumentalizing the Buchenwald memorial site as a platform for anti-Jewish agitation.”Kufiyas in Buchenwald had support from the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network and the German group Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East.Rachael Shapiro, an organizer with the International Jewish Anti-zionist Network, said the memorial foundation’s “insistence on the singularity and exceptionalism of the Nazi genocide of European Jews” served to “actively provide cover for Germany’s participation in and funding of the mass murder of Palestinians.”“As Jewish, queer and other anti-fascists, many of us, the children and grandchildren of survivors of and those persecuted and murdered in the Nazi genocide, we wholeheartedly reject the German state dictating conditions around commemoration,” Shapiro said in a statement.The event originated as a protest against a German court’s decision that Buchenwald could refuse entry to visitors who wear a Palestinian keffiyeh. Kufiyas in Buchenwald also said the memorial had suppressed other voices that criticized Israel. They cited the treatment of Israeli philosopher Omri Boehm, the grandson of Holocaust survivors and a critic of the Israeli government, who was disinvited from giving a commemoration speech at Buchenwald after pressure from the Israeli embassy in Berlin.Kufiyas in Buchenwald said it continued to call on the memorial foundation to “openly address the genocide in Gaza” and lift restrictions on pro-Palestinian symbols and speech at the site. The group said its demands honored the “Oath of Buchenwald,” a promise spoken by survivors of the camp during a memorial ceremony on April 19, 1945.These survivors said in six languages, “We will only give up the fight when the last of the guilty has been judged by the tribunal of all nations. The absolute destruction of Nazism is our device. The building of a new world of peace and freedom is our ideal.”
French police ban Muslim gathering near Paris over fears far-right groups could target it-Force cites ‘major terrorist risk’ amid ‘particularly tense international and national context’By AFP Today, 3:59 am-APR 3,26
PARIS, France — The Paris police on Thursday banned an annual gathering of French Muslims north of the capital, citing a “major terrorist risk” that it might be targeted.The Annual Gathering of the Muslims of France had been due to take place at Bourget, just north of Paris, from Friday until Monday.The order banning it issued by the Paris police said there was a risk that “small far-right groups” might try to disrupt the event.But the police order said the event was “taking place in a particularly tense international and national context.”The gathering was “exposed to a significant terrorist risk targeting the Muslim community,” it added.The order cited a foiled bid last weekend to bomb the Bank of America building in Paris — an event, it said, that underlined the seriousness of the threat inside France.French prosecutors said the attempted attack might have been linked to a pro-Iran group, as security fears flare over the war in the Middle East.Police also cited a polarized political debate during municipal elections last month.The decision comes as the French interior ministry prepares a draft law designed to tackle the danger of radical Islamist elements infiltrating Muslim groups.The bill is due to be presented to President Emmanuel Macron’s cabinet at the end of April, the ministry told AFP, confirming a report by Le Parisien newspaper.
Rights group head warns of ‘alarming’ risk of long-term mass displacement in Lebanon-Claiming crisis ‘far more severe’ than in previous Israel-Hezbollah wars, International Organization for Migration’s Amy Pope says world doesn’t ‘understand the scale’ of problem-By Lisa Golden Today, 12:57 am-APR 3,26
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AFP) — International Organization for Migration (IOM) chief Amy Pope told AFP on Thursday in Beirut that the prospects for prolonged mass displacement in Lebanon, due to the renewed conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, were “very alarming.”“I think those prospects are very alarming because you look right now at the level of destruction that’s happening and… the further destruction that has been threatened,” she said when asked about the possibility of long-term mass displacement in the country.“There are parts of the south that are being completely flattened… even if the war ends tomorrow, that destruction remains and there needs to be a rebuilding,” she said, noting that reconstruction would require funding, resources and peace.“Unless we start to see those things come into place, that means that people will be displaced now for who knows how long,” she added.Lebanon says more than one million people have been displaced since the country was drawn into the Middle East war last month, when the Tehran-backed Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel to avenge the US-Israeli attack that killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Israel has responded with massive strikes across Lebanon and a ground operation, issuing sweeping evacuation warnings for swaths of south Lebanon and Beirut’s densely populated southern suburbs.Authorities say more than 136,000 people are staying in collective shelters, including schools and stadiums, while some people are sleeping on the streets.According to Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, over one million people have been internally displaced in the country, nearly a fifth of Lebanon’s population.Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has said the military would seize a swath of southern Lebanon and hold it even after the war ends, and that the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced Lebanese would be “completely prevented” until northern Israel’s security was ensured.Displacement crisis ‘far more severe’ than before-Pope said the current displacement crisis was “far more severe” than during the previous hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, which ended with a November 2024 ceasefire.She noted the high number of displaced people, shelters struggling to cope and the fact that some people had been unable to return home after being displaced during the previous round of fighting.People outside Lebanon “absolutely do not understand the scale” of the displacement crisis, which is “coming at a time where resources for humanitarian response are more limited than ever,” she said.The UN has launched a flash humanitarian appeal for more than $300 million for Lebanon, including an IOM appeal for around $19 million, Pope said, “but very, very little of that has now come in.”“We’re seeing some of the most basic life-saving support really be needed,” she said, including shelter and blankets.Pope also said a strike this week on Beirut’s Jnah district damaged the IOM premises nearby, shattering windows and rendering the agency’s health clinic for migrants “basically unusable.”Authorities said the strike killed seven people, while Israel said it killed a senior Hezbollah commander.Pope argued that such strikes were “shocking.”“If people can’t find safety, they move. And if they can’t find safety at home, they move across borders,” she said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Drone maker backed by Trump’s sons looks to sell to Gulf states attacked by Iran-Former White House ethics chief says countries are under ‘enormous pressure’ to buy defensive equipment from Powerus after Eric and Donald Jr. joined firm as stakeholders By Bernard Condon 2 April 2026, 11:35 pm
NEW YORK (AP) — A drone maker backed by US President Donald Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the US military led by the men’s father.The sales drive by Florida-based Powerus, which announced a deal last month to bring aboard Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., positions the company to potentially benefit from a war that their father began.“These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want,” said Richard Painter, a former chief White House ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush. “This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war — a war he didn’t get the consent of Congress for.”Powerus co-founder Brett Velicovich told The Associated Press that the company is making sales pitches that include drone demonstrations in several Gulf countries to show how its defensive drone interceptors could help them ward off Iranian attacks.“Our team is doing many demos across the Middle East right now for our interceptors,” Velicovich said in a text exchange. “We have very incredible tech that can save lives.”He declined to name the countries or give more details.The Trump brothers’ deal with Powerus could give them sizable equity stakes.The US, along with Israel, launched a bombing campaign on Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its ballistic missile and nuclear programs. Iran has responded with missile and drone strikes across the region — the reason Powerus’s potential Gulf clients now need protection.Powerus denied there were any conflicts when the Trump brothers’ stake was first announced. Velicovich emphasized its determination to help the US catch up with Chinese and Russian drone makers and beat them.“We are at war, my friend, we are in an arms race and America will lose if we don’t build fast,” said Velicovich, an Army veteran who had come under fire from the same Russian drones now being used by Iran. He added, “We should be thankful anyone is trying to invest in American manufacturing now. That idea transcends politics.”The president’s oldest sons have expanded their business interests beyond hotels and golf courses since their father took office again. The companies they’ve invested in or been named advisers for — with equity stakes — run the gamut from cryptocurrency ventures to prediction markets to federal contractors making rocket parts and rare earth magnets.This latest Trump venture has its sights on $1.1 billion set aside by the Pentagon to build up a US manufacturing base for armed drones to fill a hole left when the Trump administration banned such imports from China.The Trump Organization, where the two sons are executives, didn’t respond to a request for comment, but has dismissed claims of conflicts of interest in the past. The sons have said they didn’t get credit for their restraint in expanding their businesses in their father’s first term and so have decided not to hold back much this time.Asked about potential Powerus conflicts of interest specifically, Eric Trump sent AP a statement last month saying, “I am incredibly proud to invest in companies I believe in. Drones are clearly the wave of the future.”Founded by US Army Special Operations veterans about a year ago, Powerus makes drones for commercial uses, from spreading fertilizer to putting out forest fires. But it is bulking up fast to supply drones for military uses.The company recently raised $60 million from investors and hopes to tap additional financing by doing a “reverse merger” with a Trump company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange that owns a few golf courses in Florida. Such a merger allows a private business to quickly go public by taking over a company that already has publicly traded shares, shortening the process of filing paperwork and meeting various requirements of a regular initial public offering.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
US banks in Paris ramp up security after cops thwart suspected Iran-linked attack-Citigroup orders staff in Paris and Frankfurt to work remotely ‘as a precautionary measure’ after four people detained in connection with explosive placed outside Bank of America By AFP and ToI Staff 2 April 2026, 4:58 pm
Citigroup has urged staff in Paris and Frankfurt to work from home as US banks step up security, after one of them was the target of a thwarted attack last week, thought to be linked to an Iran-backed terror group.“The safety of our employees is our number one priority, and we are taking the necessary measures to keep our employees safe,” a Citigroup spokeswoman said Thursday. “Employees in Paris/Frankfurt are working remotely, as a precautionary measure,” she added.Police have also deployed surveillance outside the Paris offices of US bank Goldman Sachs in the city’s 8th arrondissement, near the Champs-Elysees, a police source said.The operation is part of heightened police vigilance to protect US interests and Jewish community sites in France over concerns about potential attacks linked to the war in the Middle East.French authorities have charged four people — a young adult and three minors — and put them in pre-trial detention after an explosive device was placed outside a Bank of America branch in Paris before dawn on Saturday.France’s National Counterterrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) said the incident could be linked to a little-known terror group with possible links to Iran, though no firm link has yet been established.The Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya group, or Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, has claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Jewish communities in the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands.Jewish institutions in Europe, Canada and the US have been targeted at least 14 times since the US and Israel launched a bombing campaign in Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its ballistic missile and nuclear programs.
Iran executes man accused of attacking military site on Israel’s behalf during protests-Amir-Hossein Hatami is found guilty of entering a restricted military facility in Tehran, damaging and setting fire to the facility, and attempting to seize weapons and ammunition By Agencies 2 April 2026, 3:09 pm
A man convicted of participating in an attack on a classified military facility on behalf of Israel and the United States during January’s protests in Iran was executed on Thursday, the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan said.“Amir-Hossein Hatami, one of the enemy’s terrorist elements involved in the [January protests] … was hanged at dawn today,” Mizan said.It said he acted “against national security on behalf of the Zionist regime and the United States,” and was found guilty of entering a restricted military site in Tehran, damaging and setting fire to the facility, and attempting to seize weapons and ammunition during the protests — charges he admitted during interrogation, Mizan reported.Iran’s Supreme Court rejected his appeal and upheld his sentence. Iran frequently executes people accused of being spies without providing evidence.Thursday’s execution was the latest related to the protests, which broke out in Iran late December against the rising cost of living before becoming nationwide anti-government demonstrations that peaked on January 8 and 9.On February 18, Kouroush Keyvani was executed after being accused of spying for the Mossad. His was the first execution announced since the war with Israel and the United States broke out on February 28.Amid the war, Iran has today executed an individual linked to the deadly unrest in January, Amirhossein Hatami. He was accused of “setting fire to a military site”.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
DANIEL 7:17-26
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

TRUMP IS FORCING THE EUROPEAN UNION INTO TAKING ITS LAST DAYS WORLD RULE.I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN THIS WAY. TRUMP AGAIN IS BEING LEAD TO HELP FULFIL BIBLE PROPHECYS LAST AGE SETUP.
Analysis-Trump’s ire at NATO leaves European partners bracing for potential US exit-American president stopped short of condemning alliance in recent speech, but tensions over potential Strait of Hormuz operations have officials fearing gap no longer bridgeable-By Gram Slattery, Andrea Shalal, Andrew Gray and John Irish Today, 9:54 am-APR 03,26
WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS/PARIS (Reuters) — The NATO alliance has in recent years survived existential challenges – ranging from the war in Ukraine to multiple bouts of pressure and insults from US President Donald Trump, who has questioned its core mission and threatened to seize Greenland.But it is the US-Israeli war with Iran, thousands of miles from Europe, that has nearly broken the 76-year-old bloc and threatens to leave it in its weakest state since its creation, say analysts and diplomats.Trump, enraged that European countries have declined to send their navies to open up the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping following the start of the air war on February 28, has declared he is considering withdrawing from the alliance.“Wouldn’t you if you were me?” Trump asked Reuters in a Wednesday interview.In a speech on Wednesday night, Trump criticized US allies but stopped short of condemning NATO, as many experts thought he might.But combined with other barbs aimed at Europeans in recent weeks, Trump’s comments have provoked unprecedented concern that the US will not come to the aid of European allies should they be attacked, whether or not Washington formally walks away.The result, say analysts and diplomats, is that the alliance created in the Cold War, which has long served as the basic fabric of European security, is fraying and the mutual defense agreement at its core is no longer taken as a given.“This is the worst place (NATO) has been in since it was founded,” said Max Bergmann, a former State Department official who now leads the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.“It’s really hard to think of anything that even comes close.”That reality is sinking in for Europeans, who have counted on NATO as a bulwark against an increasingly assertive Russia.As recently as February, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte had dismissed the idea of Europe defending itself without the US as a “silly thought.” Now, many officials and diplomats consider it the default expectation.“NATO remains necessary, but we must be capable of thinking of NATO without the Americans,” said General Francois Lecointre, who served as France’s armed forces chief from 2017 to 2021.“Whether it should even continue to be called NATO – North Atlantic Treaty Organization – is a valid question.”White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said: “President Trump has made his disappointment with NATO and other allies clear, and as the President emphasized, ‘the United States will remember.’”A NATO representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.This time it’s different-NATO has been challenged before, not least during Trump’s first term from 2017 to 2021, when he also considered withdrawing from the alliance.But while many European officials until recently believed that Trump could be kept on board with pomp and flattery, fewer now hold that belief, according to conversations with dozens of former and current US and European officials.Trump and his officials have expressed frustration over what they see as NATO’s unwillingness to help the United States in a time of need, including by not directly assisting with the Strait of Hormuz and by restricting US use of some airfields and airspace. US officials have declared that NATO cannot be a “one-way street.”European officials counter that they have not received US requests for specific assets for a mission to open the strait and complain that Washington has been inconsistent about whether such a mission would operate during or after the war.“It’s a terrible situation for NATO to be in,” said Jamie Shea, a former senior NATO official who is now a senior fellow at the Friends of Europe think tank.“It is a blow to the allies who, since Trump returned to the White House, have worked hard to show that they are willing and able to take more responsibility (for their own defense).”Trump’s latest comments follow other signs of an increasingly unsteady alliance.Those include his stepped-up threats in January to wrest Greenland away from Denmark and recent moves by the US that Europeans see as particularly accommodating toward Russia, which NATO defines as its principal security threat.The administration has remained essentially mum amid reports that Moscow has provided targeting data for Iran to attack US assets in the Middle East and has lifted sanctions on Russian oil in a bid to ease global energy prices that have spiked during the war.At a meeting of G7 foreign ministers near Paris last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Kaja Kallas, the foreign policy chief of the European Union, had a tense exchange, according to five people familiar with the matter, underlining the increasingly fraught transatlantic relationship.Kallas asked when US patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin would run out over Ukraine peace negotiations, prompting Rubio to respond with irritation that the US was trying to end the war while also providing support to Ukraine, but the EU was welcome to mediate if it wanted to.Legally, Trump may lack the authority to withdraw from NATO. Under a law passed in 2023, a US president cannot exit the alliance without the consent of two-thirds of the US Senate, a nearly impossible threshold.But analysts say that, as commander-in-chief, Trump can decide whether the US military will defend NATO members. Declining to do so could imperil the alliance without a formal withdrawal.To be sure, not everyone sees the current crisis as existential. One French diplomat described the president’s rhetoric as a passing temper tantrum.Trump has changed his position on NATO before.In 2024, he said on the campaign trail that he would encourage Putin to attack NATO members that do not pay their fair share on defense. By the last annual NATO summit, in June 2025, the alliance was in his good graces, with Trump delivering a speech effusively praising European leaders as people who “love their countries.”Next week, Rutte, the NATO secretary-general, who has a strong relationship with Trump, is set to visit Washington in an effort to change Trump’s view once again.Analysts say European nations have good reason to keep the US engaged in NATO despite doubts over whether Trump would come to their defense. Among other reasons, the US military provides a range of capabilities NATO can’t easily replace, such as satellite intelligence.Even if Trump and the Europeans find a way to stay together in NATO, diplomats, analysts and officials say, the transatlantic alliance that has been central to the global order since World War Two may never be the same.“I do think we’re turning the page of 80 years of working together,” said Julianne Smith, the US ambassador to NATO under Democratic president Joe Biden.“I don’t think it means the end of the transatlantic relationship, but we’re on the cusp of something that’s going to have a different look and feel to it.”
'This parasite is sort of a genius - it's only one cell'-Groundbreaking Israeli study finds malarial parasites hack RNA to deceive immune system-Paving way for new therapies, researchers decode how parasites that spread one of the world’s deadliest diseases use trickery to trigger confusion inside cells and evade defenses By Diana Bletter-Today, 8:46 am-APR 3,26
Israeli researchers say they have discovered how malaria parasites trick their way into surviving in the human body, opening up hopes for new therapies that can battle the deadly disease.Spread by mosquitoes, malaria is estimated to affect 1,000 children a day and kill 500,000 per year, largely in South America and sub-Saharan Africa.In ground-breaking research published in the journal Cell Reports earlier this year, the team from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot found that malaria parasites send packages of their own messenger RNA to hack into a cell’s nucleus and hijack its splicing activity to shut down any immune response before it gets started.The key to the study, which was among several projects set back by an Iranian missile attack in June that destroyed several labs connected to the Biomolecular Sciences Department, was the identification of the parasitic RNA inside the cell’s inner sanctum, where it had no business being.“Nobody detected this low level of the parasite’s messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of immune cells using a microscope before,” Prof. Neta Regev-Rudzki, one of the lead researchers, told The Times of Israel. “It was completely new.”The findings point to a potential new target for antimalarial drugs, said Regev-Rudzki, specifically therapies designed to prevent malarial RNAs from taking over the host’s splicing system.Amy Buck, a University of Edinburgh professor of RNA & Infection Biology, said the research could have applications beyond malaria as well. She was not involved in the study.“It is exciting not only because it offers new insights into how malaria can evade host immunity,” Buck said, adding that it “expands the context for how and where imported RNAs can function, with potential relevance to many other human diseases.”Mission against malaria-Malaria is caused by parasites carried by female mosquitoes that pick up the parasite by biting someone who already has the disease.Worldwide, millions of people are infected with malaria each year. Most cases are in sub-Saharan Africa and South America. More than 500,000 people die each year from the disease, though antimalarial drugs can treat the malady, especially if caught before complications begin. However, those drugs lose their efficacy as the parasites build resistance.“We have to somehow find the way to block this disease and all this suffering,” Regev-Rudzki said, noting that there is no effective vaccine yet against malaria parasites. “For me, I feel like it’s a mission.”Early symptoms include cycles of chills and then fever. Untreated malaria causes rapid destruction of red blood cells and then multi-organ failure, and cerebral damage. The parasite could lead to fatal complications, including respiratory failure, within a very short time.More than a decade ago, Regev-Rudzki discovered that the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum invaded human red blood cells while sending out vesicles — tiny membrane-bound sacs filled with RNA — to communicate with fellow parasites inside other red blood cells.“The research broke the dogma that the parasites competed with each other,” she said. “We discovered that they don’t necessarily compete. In some stages, they actually coordinate actions and work together as a team.”“This parasite is sort of a genius, because it’s only one cell,” she said.The new study, led by Dr. Paula Abou Karam, set out to determine what other tools the parasites use to survive in the human body. Also contributing to the research were scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and Tel Aviv University.“We discovered that the parasites use these vesicles not just to talk among themselves but also to manipulate the human immune cells by delivering misleading messages,” Regev-Rudzki said.The researcher said that her team was surprised to find that the RNA molecules had made their way into the highly protected nucleus of the immune cells.“The nucleus is very protected,” she explained. “It’s like the brain of the cell, so there are lots of gatekeepers. It was hard to believe that the parasitic RNAs were inside the human immune nucleus. We had to be convinced.”Hunting for RNA-At first, the task seemed nearly impossible because the parasitic RNA levels were so low, making them difficult to detect.Abou Karam, then a PhD student, refused to give up and continued to look for markers of the parasitic mRNA within a type of immune cell called a monocyte.“Paula had to keep changing different microscopy methods,” Regev-Rudzki said. “She insisted and kept trying for more than a year and a half until she could detect the RNA molecules.”Abou Karam told The Times of Israel that she met the “very challenging” task of detecting the mRNA by designing a fluorescent probe, like a highlighter for a microscope, which was then used with fluorescent dye.“Each time a single malaria mRNA molecule successfully crossed into the nucleus, it made a red dot,” she said. “Then we had to take images with a special focal microscope and do the analysis.”The scientists still did not understand how the foreign RNAs entered human cells, so they joined forces with Dr. Zeev Melamed of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a leading expert in RNA and splicing.With Melamed’s help, the team discovered that once the parasite’s mRNA reached the nucleus, it latched onto two specific human proteins, ACIN1 and PNN.These proteins are meant to splice messages into instructions that activate the immune system and fight off infections. But the parasites’ mRNA hijacks the immune system’s communication network and turns those spliced messages into gibberish.The confusion does eventually trigger a defensive response, the researchers found, but it sends immune cells to the monocytes rather than to the red blood cells where the parasites were multiplying all along.Abou Karam said that soon after the researchers completed the study, they submitted the manuscript for publication and had plans for revisions involving other experiments. Then a devastating Iranian ballistic missile struck the Weizmann Institute last June.While the team’s lab was left intact, equipment from other labs that it had been using was destroyed.“A lot of the facilities at the institute were destroyed, and we couldn’t do our research in the same way anymore,” she said.Abou Karam is no stranger to conflict and upheaval. Born in Lebanon, her father was a member of the Israel-backed South Lebanon Army, which fought against Hezbollah and other terror groups before the IDF’s withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. Her family was one of dozens to flee to Israel, where they were granted residency, following the pullout. She was 8 at the time.“It was quite rough, but slowly we had to adjust,” Abou Karam recalled.The same adaptiveness was put to work after the missile attack.“We had to think on our feet and get really creative,” she said.Regev-Rudzki said the team felt it had to press forward, to ensure that those who targeted the institute did not succeed in thwarting potentially life-saving science.“All we knew was that we had to continue, because otherwise, they won,” she said. “We have to stick to the science. We keep saying that in science, there are no boundaries. Science is a bridge, and we have to keep working in our lab and our research, and we won’t let them stop us.
Dust storm turns Israel’s skies gray on Passover, drives up pollution-Environmental Protection Ministry warns sensitive populations to reduce physical activity-By Michael Horovitz-and Reuters 2 April 2026, 4:42 pm
A cloud of dust carried by strong winds from North Africa covered Israel on Thursday, turning the skies gray on the first day of the Passover festival and increasing air pollution.Pollution levels were set to drop only by evening, the Environmental Protection Ministry said.The ministry said it “recommends that sensitive populations, including heart patients, lung patients, the elderly, children and pregnant women avoid strenuous physical activity outdoors.“The general population is advised to reduce strenuous physical activity outdoors,” it added.The Israel Meteorological Service, meanwhile, said there was a chance of localized flooding in southern Israel, including the Judean Desert, Dead Sea, and northern Arava areas.In February, a Hebrew University expert warned that dust storms are likely to become more common and start earlier in the year as a result of climate change.Wednesday saw dramatic scenes in the Mediterranean island of Crete, with skies turning an eerie orange as winds of up to force 9 on the Beaufort scale carried dust from North Africa, disrupting flights.In Greece on Thursday, authorities recovered the body of a man in the seaside holiday town of Nea Makri, 35 kilometers (22 miles) northeast of Athens, a fire brigade official told Reuters, as Erminio lashed the country.The man was believed to have been carried away by a torrent and trapped under a car as he attempted to cross a flooded street, local media reported.The fire brigade said it has received hundreds of calls to rescue people trapped in floodwater and help clear roads of fallen trees as the storm swept through Athens and several islands in the Aegean Sea.Early on Thursday, crews were still removing debris, pumping water from flooded buildings, and repairing damaged infrastructure east of the capital. Authorities also banned some ferries from sailing from the port of Piraeus near Athens to the Greek islands.Greece, which sits at Europe’s southernmost tip, has suffered destructive floods and wildfires in recent years, which analysts attribute to a rapidly warming climate.
'This opens up many questions about local customs'Marble bowl buried 1,300 years ago in Golan church sheds light on ancient baptisms-Found in a cathedral destroyed by an earthquake in 749, a unique liturgical object suggests the ceremony there featured three moments of anointment, a ritual never documented before-By Rossella Tercatin-Today, 11:05 am-APR 3,26
Some 1,300 years ago, in 749 CE, an earthquake struck the Middle East, causing widespread destruction.The earthquake sealed the fate of the ancient city of Hippos, once a thriving Christian center east of the Sea of Galilee in the southern Golan. There, among other structures, a cathedral hall featuring a baptismal font collapsed in the city’s south, burying its liturgical implements for over a millennium.The room and its rare contents were recently rediscovered by a team of archaeologists from the University of Haifa, as revealed in a new study published in the Palestine Exploration Quarterly last month.According to lead author Michael Eisenberg, co-director of excavation at Hippos, one of the artifacts, a marble item with three round indentations, has no known parallel and could offer new insights into unique baptismal practices in the ancient Byzantine city.“Hippos was the main Christian city on that side of the Sea of Galilee, an area very connected to the ministry of Jesus in the region,” Eisenberg told The Times of Israel over the telephone. “We have recorded seven churches in Hippos. The largest of these churches, the cathedral, was also the seat of a bishop.”All the churches were built between the fifth and the early sixth centuries CE.Most of the cathedral was excavated at the beginning of the 1950s, decades before Eisenberg and his team began work at the site in 2000.The early archaeologists had already unearthed a first hall with a baptismal font — a large, round structure where an adult could fully immerse, fed by a conduit bringing fresh water from a nearby source.“The bishop and the cathedral were the only ones performing baptisms, not only in Hippos but in the whole region,” Eisenberg said, noting that no other church in Hippos included a baptistery. “They had a monopoly.”“This baptistery, or photisterion, which in Greek means ‘hall of light,’ as it was referred to at the time, is the largest ever discovered in Israel,” he added.The southern part of the church was not excavated until 2023. Eisenberg and his fellow archaeologists opened a small excavation area since the site’s paved road runs very close to the building. They were amazed by what they encountered.“We found another baptismal font, and next to it, a whole archeological treasure of liturgical items exactly as they fell during the 749 earthquake.”The newly exposed hall features the same type of flooring — red limestone and white marble tiles arranged in a geometric pattern — as other parts of the cathedral, suggesting that, like the rest of the church, it was restored during renovations carried out in 590 CE and documented by an inscription elsewhere in the building. (No inscription was discovered in the southern photisterion.)The baptismal font in the southern hall is much smaller than the structure in the northern one and does not offer steps to enter it. This detail suggests that the baptistery discovered in the 1950s was used to baptize adults, while the other one was used for babies, who could be briefly immersed or held over it with water poured on them, Eisenberg said.The archaeologists found several liturgical objects next to the font in the southern hall, including a large bronze candelabrum and a reliquary, or a box for relics of venerated saints.“Some of them are rather unique, though not all of them are necessarily so important from the research perspective,” Eisenberg said.The object that, more than anything, captured the researchers’ attention was the marble artifact featuring three bowls.“We found it in the perfect position, stuck between the baptismal font and the other liturgical implements,” Eisenberg said. “It was not there by chance.”“We’ve consulted with colleagues who specialized in baptismal rites in early Christianity, and they agree that the only logical explanation for the use of this marble block next to the baptismal font is that it was part of the liturgical ceremonies,” he added.According to the archaeologist, the artifact’s shape strongly suggests that it was used to contain liquids. Eisenberg believes the utensil most likely held different types of oil employed during the ceremony to baptize babies.“We are familiar with similar implements with one bowl or two bowls, but this could be the first one with three bowls,” he said. “No parallel has ever been found.”The archaeologist emphasized that at the time Christianity was still developing, and ceremonies were not necessarily held according to a fixed protocol everywhere.“We don’t have too many sources discussing early Christian [rituals] in different regions,” Eisenberg explained. “We rely on later sources, and some of them hint at the use of different oils [during baptism], not only the olive oil, but other kinds of oils. However, no source speaks directly about three oils being used [in the ceremony].”“This opens up many questions about local or regional customs for ceremonies and how much we do not know about them,” he said.According to Robin Jensen, professor emeritus at the University of Notre Dame in the United States and an expert on Christianity in antiquity and Christian architecture, there is another possible way of interpreting the object.She suggested that the marble block could have served as an offering table.“I have seen objects like that in cemeteries that were meant to hold food offerings for the dead,” said Jensen, who was not involved in the study. “I think one might find something of the sort in an early church — a receptacle for offerings.”Jensen said that if the interpretation offered by Eisenberg and his co-author Arleta Kowalewska is right and the object was indeed used for anointing oils, it would be unique.“We don’t have any textual evidence for a triple anointing, although later Christian tradition does, in fact, have three types of oils — oil for anointing the sick, oil of the catechumens, and oil for chrismation,” Jensen said.“Ancient baptismal rituals, both East and West, regularly have two anointings; one preliminary anointing and post-baptismal chrismation… but I don’t know of any triple anointings,” she added.The professor also said that she holds Eisenberg and Kowalewska in high regard.“I regard them as very reliable and the overall study of this new photesterion at Hippos very important; their work is careful, and their discovery is significant,” she said.Saving the relics-The archaeologists also found a large marble reliquary.“It was sealed, and we were very eager to find out what it contained, but when we opened it, still in the field, it was empty,” Eisenberg said.The southern hall could have served both as a baptistery and a martyrium, or a room devoted to the cult of martyrs.“There was no contradiction between the two functions,” Eisenberg said.According to inscriptions found elsewhere in the church, the cathedral was dedicated to Cosmas and Damianus, two third-century brothers and physicians who embraced Christianity and were killed by the Roman authorities, and whose cult was very popular in Syria, Palestine (as the Roman province was known) and Arabia.The reliquary might have contained their bones or other objects connected to their life.Eisenberg explained that the city’s demise began long before the earthquake, and that the relics might have been removed by Christians who left the city before it was finally destroyed and abandoned.“Hippos’ decline started in the late sixth century [CE] and dramatically accelerated after the Muslim conquest in 636, not because of the invasion itself, but because [the new rulers] moved the regional capital to Tiberias,” the scholar noted. “All the churches at Hippos continued to function, but most of them progressively closed some of their spaces, starting to use them for agricultural purposes instead. It seems that there were not enough residents there.”The cathedral continued to function until it was destroyed by the earthquake.“When Christian believers left a place, holy relics were the first thing they brought with them,” Eisenberg said.
