Last night, tensions soared as missile strikes erupted between Israel and Iran, eventually paving the way for a ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Reports noted that Iran launched six distinct waves of missiles, setting off a chain of events that have now temporarily halted further violence.
Rescue teams, including Israel's Magen David Adom 🚑, rushed to aid those affected, with four fatalities reported in Beersheba. Meanwhile, in Tehran, explosions rattled the city with blasts reported in both northern and central districts, highlighting the widespread impact of the night’s events.
Early Tuesday added to the gravity of the situation when strikes in the northern Iranian province of Gilan left nine people dead, as confirmed by local officials. Iranian news agency SNN noted that the final round of missiles was fired just before the ceasefire took effect.
The ceasefire was emphatically announced on social media when U.S. President Donald Trump declared, "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Soon after, Israel's airports authority confirmed that the country’s airspace was reopened, signaling the start of a fragile calm.
