TEL AVIV, ISRAEL – A fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, is under threat after Iran launched missile attacks into Israel, resulting in at least three casualties.
Iran’s foreign minister confirmed the ceasefire with Israel, set to take effect immediately. However, hours after Trump’s announcement, uncertainty loomed as the Israeli Defense Forces reported multiple missile strikes from Iran.
Sirens echoed throughout Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, prompting residents to seek refuge in bomb shelters. The southern city of Beersheba was notably impacted, with reports of a building hit and several injuries.
Israeli military forces are actively intercepting incoming missiles. Observers in Tel Aviv noted the deployment of anti-missile defenses and witnessed explosions in the sky, indicating ongoing interceptions.
As the ceasefire deadline approached, tensions remained high. Reports of additional ballistic missiles added to the uncertainty, with fears of further escalation despite the ceasefire agreement.
The attacks followed a period of intense conflict, with 12 days of missile exchanges preceding Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire. The president had declared the ceasefire would begin six hours post-announcement, but the situation remained volatile.
Iran’s foreign minister initially denied any ceasefire agreement, creating further confusion until Iranian state television confirmed the deal. The ongoing hostilities cast doubt on the ceasefire’s durability and Trump’s diplomatic efforts.
The situation underscores the precarious nature of the ceasefire and raises questions about the next steps for both nations, as well as the role of the U.S. in mediating peace.
