Ceasefire Agreement in Jeopardy
Just two hours after the confirmation of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the truce appears to be collapsing. The Israeli military alleges that Iran launched rockets toward Israel, including one targeting the port city of Haifa. Iranian state media ISNA has categorically denied these accusations.
Conflicting Reports Emerge
Israeli Defense Minister Katz announced a "powerful response" to the alleged violation, though no casualties have been reported. This development comes after US President Trump brokered what he described as a "complete and total ceasefire" to end the twelve-day conflict between the nations.
Recent Attacks and Casualties
Prior to the ceasefire announcement, overnight attacks resulted in significant casualties. Israeli officials confirmed four fatalities and over ten injuries in Be'er Sheva after eight rockets struck the southern city. Rescue teams continue searching through rubble at a damaged apartment complex.
Iranian Strikes and Counterattacks
Iran launched four waves of attacks against Israel before agreeing to the ceasefire. Simultaneously, Israel conducted strikes on Iranian territory, with the governor of Gilan province reporting nine fatalities from an Israeli attack occurring before the 06:00 CET ceasefire deadline. Israeli military sources claimed they destroyed rocket launchers in western Iran targeting Israeli territory.
Political Context
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Israel achieved its primary objective of "eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat" through recent joint operations with the United States targeting Iranian nuclear facilities. Verification of damage to these facilities remains challenging. President Trump has urged both nations: "Please, do not violate the agreement!" as international observers monitor the fragile truce.
