What appeared to be the beginning of calm has quickly unraveled, as tensions between Israel and Iran have reignited. The Israeli Defense Forces accuse Iran of violating the ceasefire announced just hours earlier by President Trump, raising fears of a fresh surge in violence.
Reports indicate that Iranian forces fired a new wave of missiles at Israel in the early morning, prompting swift retaliation from the Israeli military against launch sites in western Iran. One of the missiles struck an apartment block in Beersheba, killing at least four people and sending residents across Israel scrambling into shelters.
The situation is highly volatile, with both nations exchanging fire and refusing to yield. Israel has claimed it agreed to a mutual truce after meeting its objectives, while Iran has portrayed the ceasefire as proof of its own military strength.
With the international community watching anxiously, the prospect of peace appears to be slipping away. Israel has warned it will respond “with force” to further violations, leaving little space for negotiation or de-escalation.
