Israel Refrains From Further Strikes After Iran Missile Barrage Amid Ceasefire

Following a conversation between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has refrained from conducting further attacks on Iran, signaling a move toward a ceasefire despite recent hostilities. Prior to the ceasefire set for 7:00 a.m., Israel launched a significant strike on Tehran, targeting regime assets and eliminating hundreds of Iranian security personnel. In retaliation, Iran fired multiple missiles into Israeli territory, resulting in casualties, including four deaths in Be'er Sheva, and continued missile attacks even after the ceasefire took effect. Israel responded to these violations by destroying an Iranian radar installation near Tehran. President Trump expressed strong disapproval of the ceasefire violations by both Israel and Iran but conveyed his appreciation for Israel's achievements in the conflict and confidence in the ceasefire's stability. Netanyahu's decision to hold back from further strikes underscores the impact of diplomatic engagement between the two leaders and a mutual interest in de-escalating the conflict.
