An Israeli official stated Sunday that the army will cease fire toward Iran but clarified that this does not apply to ongoing military operations in southern Lebanon. The remarks came in response to Iran’s latest warning, after Tehran announced it had ended its missile strikes on Israel but threatened strong retaliation if Israeli raids in Lebanon continued.

Soon after the Iranian threat, reports confirmed new Israeli airstrikes targeting several areas in southern Lebanon. In parallel, U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the latest developments.

The Israeli army reported that sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel after detecting the launch of three rockets toward its forces in southern Lebanon. The military confirmed no casualties resulted from the incident.
