Israel Vows Forceful Response to Iran’s Ceasefire Breach
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Tuesday that the Israeli military has been ordered to react decisively to what he described as Iran’s violation of a recently declared ceasefire. This directive follows the launch of missiles from Iran towards Israel, detected by Israeli armed forces, even as U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the ceasefire was in effect just hours earlier.
Katz instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to carry out high-intensity operations targeting Iranian regime assets and terror infrastructure. "In light of Iran’s blatant violation through missile attacks, we will respond strongly to any breach," Katz stated.
The situation remains tense. Shortly after U.S. claims of a ceasefire, the Israeli military reported a series of missile launches from Iran, highlighting a precarious security landscape. In an alarming development, Iranian state media denied the accusations of missile attacks on Israel, countering Israeli assertions.
Meanwhile, the UN has condemned the "weaponization" of food in Gaza, considered a war crime, as humanitarian conditions worsen. Reports indicate that Israeli forces killed 21 individuals near aid distribution sites in Gaza amidst continuing conflict.
The recent escalation comes after Israeli and U.S. strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, complicating diplomatic efforts. Iran’s nuclear chief acknowledged damage to its facilities while asserting plans for rapid restoration.
Amid these conflicts, international calls for peace intensify, with China expressing readiness to work towards stability in the Middle East. As the situation unfolds, military preparedness remains high on both sides, indicating that serious tensions could persist despite diplomatic announcements.
