Israel and Iran put a halt on fighting on Monday after appeal from President Donald Trump amid fresh elevation of aggression in the Middle East. The two nations fired at each other on while Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile at Israel and threatened to disrupt Red Sea shipping. It was the most serious escalation since a ceasefire began two months ago and threatens to plunge the Middle East back into war.
Israeli authorities said three waves of Iranian missiles targeted the country. Explosions could be heard in central Israel as Israeli air defenses sought to intercept the incoming Iranian fire. The Iranian attack came after Israel launched strikes on central and western Iran early Monday in response to missile fire from Tehran, in the most serious crossfire since an April 8 ceasefire was reached in the Iran war.
Tehran warned of retaliation after Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday in defiance of Washington’s request days ago to stand down.
The Israeli strikes came in apparent defiance of U.S. President Donald Trump, who told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he doesn’t think Israel needs to respond further.
