Israel Says It Will Refrain From Further Attacks On Iran After Call With Trump

Netanyahu’s office said that Israel is refraining from carrying out further attacks on Iran following a phone call with Trump.

“In the conversation, President Trump expressed his immense appreciation for Israel — which achieved all of its war goals,” it said in a statement. “The President also expressed his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire.”

The office also provided more details on Israel’s attacks on Iran overnight and early this morning.

It said Israel first struck Tehran at 3 a.m. local time in an attempt to target Iranian security forces. Shortly before the ceasefire went into effect at 7 a.m. local time, Iran launched a barrage of missiles, one of which claimed the lives of four Israeli’s in Beersheba in Tel Aviv, it said.

The statement added that Iran then returned a missile into Israeli territory at 7:06 a.m. local time, after the ceasefire came into effect, followed by two other missiles a few hours later at 10:25 a.m. local time.

“The missiles were intercepted or fell in open areas without casualties or damage,” it said, adding that the Air Force destroyed a radar array near Tehran in response to the violations.
