US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran on its twelfth day, claiming to prevent a full-scale war. However, Iran rejected the ceasefire and launched five rounds of ballistic missiles at Israel this morning, resulting in seven deaths and numerous injuries. Trump later updated the situation, stating that a ceasefire had been agreed upon by both countries, with Israel giving its approval. However, it seems unlikely that Iran will adhere to the ceasefire so readily.
Shortly after the ceasefire announcement, Iran launched missiles at northern and central Israel, violating the agreement. Following the Iranian missile attacks, the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is on high alert. Sirens are sounding across northern and central Israel, and citizens have been urged to seek shelter in bomb shelters and bunkers.
Despite the ceasefire, Iran continues its attacks, launching missiles at Israel. Israel has successfully intercepted some of these missiles. Israel is now considering a strong counter-response to Iran's actions.
Following Iran's ceasefire violation, the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has advised residents of the seventh block in the Iranian capital, Tehran, to evacuate to safer locations. Israel is preparing an immediate response to Iran's violation of the ceasefire.
Following Iran's ceasefire violation, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has given his forces free rein to respond forcefully to the Iranian attacks. Katz has instructed the IDF to target Iranian regime installations in Tehran, and a retaliatory strike is expected imminently.
Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatened Iran on social media following its ceasefire violation, writing, “Tehran will tremble.”
