In a dramatic turn of events, Israel and Iran traded missile strikes overnight, with tensions running high until a ceasefire took effect. 🔥💥
The exchange saw six waves of missiles launched by Iran amid an intense night. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service confirmed that four lives were lost in Beersheba, marking the first reported casualties in Israel since the ceasefire was announced late Monday.
Meanwhile, explosions rocked Tehran as blasts were reported in both the north and center of the Iranian capital. In a parallel development, Israeli strikes in the northern Iranian province of Gilan resulted in nine fatalities, adding a somber note to the unfolding events.
Just before the ceasefire came into effect, Iran's SNN news agency noted that Tehran had fired its last round of missiles. U.S. President Donald Trump then declared on his Truth Social platform, "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Following this, Israel's airspace was swiftly reopened, signaling a cautious step toward calm.
As the dust begins to settle, many are left wondering what the future holds for this volatile region. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation continues to unfold!
