在歷經席捲中東的「十二日戰爭」後，儘管德黑蘭方面對卡塔爾境內一處美軍基地實施了有限度的導彈反擊，且在接受停火協議前，德黑蘭對以色列發動了最後一波導彈襲擊，造成至少五人喪生，而以色列亦於黎明前對伊朗境內多個目標進行了一系列空襲，以色列與伊朗最終仍於週二接受了由美國總統唐納德·川普所提出的停火協議。

總理班傑明·納坦雅胡宣稱，以色列與伊朗達成的雙邊停火協議，乃是以色列與川普政府縝密協調之成果；納坦雅胡於週一晚間向以色列安全內閣報告時聲稱，在針對伊朗的「十二日行動」中，以色列已全數達成既定戰略目標，其中包括弭平伊朗核武計畫與彈道飛彈計畫所構成之潛在威脅，並進一步補充，以色列亦已成功削弱伊朗軍事領導階層及其多處政府要地，同時掌握對德黑蘭空域之控制權。納坦雅胡措辭強硬地強調：「以色列必將對任何形式之停火協議違背行為，採取斷然且不成比例之反制措施。」

Imminent dawn found Iranian cities reeling from a sustained Israeli aerial bombardment of unprecedented ferocity, the onslaught precipitating a retaliatory barrage from Iran that compelled mass civilian flight to shelters. The Magen David Adom emergency services reported, as sunrise bled across the horizon, a preliminary toll of at least five fatalities and eight wounded. Police sources confirmed that Iranian ordnance had gutted at least three densely populated residential complexes within Beersheba. Paramedics extracting bodies – an initial count of five – from one collapsed structure, continued their grim search for further victims amidst the ruins, with at least twenty individuals requiring medical attention. A macabre tableau of incinerated vehicle carcasses and fragmented debris choked the streets, the epicentre of a frantic search-and-rescue operation involving hundreds of first responders desperately seeking any remaining survivors entombed within the devastated buildings. In a chilling revelation, police investigators conceded that even reinforced home shelters, designed to withstand conventional rocket and shrapnel attacks, had proven catastrophically inadequate against the direct impact of Iranian ballistic missiles, leaving some residents wounded even within their supposed sanctuaries.

Prior to the American president's ceasefire proclamation, Israel's largest southern metropolis sustained a direct missile strike, an event that unfolded proximal to Donald Trump's declaration of a "complete cessation of hostilities" between Israel and Iran, which itself followed Tehran's circumscribed Monday missile incursion targeting a U.S. installation in Qatar, a retaliatory measure precipitated by the United States' aerial bombardment of Iranian nuclear sites, an action presaged by explicit Iranian warnings, and conspicuously executed without any loss of life; Trump's subsequent pronouncement on Truth Social avowed that the armistice, commencing circa midnight Washington time, would definitively constitute the *sine die* of the aforementioned conflict.

特朗普將以伊衝突輕率地命名為「十二日戰爭」，此舉實則影射一九六七年中東戰爭，即坊間所謂之「六日戰爭」，彼時以色列與埃及、約旦、敘利亞等阿拉伯國家聯盟兵戎相見。特朗普此一命名，於阿拉伯世界，特別是對巴勒斯坦人民而言，帶有極其複雜且難以磨滅的情感意涵，實屬不智之舉。

於一九六七年戰爭期間，以色列攫取約旦河西岸及東耶路撒冷（原屬約旦），蠶食加沙地帶和西奈半島（原屬埃及），並鯨吞戈蘭高地（原屬敘利亞）；雖其後歸還西奈半島予埃及，然餘者仍受其持續箝制。據一位匿名的白宮高階官員宣稱，川普總統徑與以色列總理內塔尼亞胡斡旋，以確保停火之貫徹；副國務卿文斯、國務卿馬可·魯比奧及特使史蒂夫·威特科夫則透過直接及間接途徑，與伊朗方面進行了商榷。白宮迭次強調，週六之轟炸實乃促使以色列允諾停火之關鍵，而卡塔爾政府亦襄助促成此項協議。至於伊朗最高領袖阿亞圖拉·阿里·哈梅內伊於此番negotiation中所扮演之角色，目前尚不明朗；其雖曾於社交媒體上措辭強硬，宣稱絕不屈服，然其於幕後之運作，仍待進一步釐清。

Tehran's relentless artillery barrages precipitated the peremptory closure of Iranian airspace to exigent aviation, compelling, as reported by Israeli media outlets, aerial rerouting and holding patterns over the Mediterranean; whilst Israel's aerodromes, though previously shuttered since the commencement of hostilities with Iran, had witnessed a tentative resumption of select emergency flights in recent days, Qatar Airways effectuated a recommencement of its flight operations in the small hours of Tuesday, subsequent to the closure of Qatari airspace attributed to Iranian ballistic incursions targeting Al Udeid Air Base, with corroborating flight telemetry data indicating a re-entry of commercial airliners into Qatari sovereign airspace, thereby suggesting a perceived subsidence of the threat level facing the resource-endowed nation in the assessment of the Doha authorities.

此番鬩牆已釀成數百人殞命之慘劇；以色列境內，戰火至少奪去二十九條性命，逾千人負傷。據總部設於華府之人權倡議組織統計，以色列對伊朗之空襲，總計造成至少九百七十四人喪生，三千四百五十八人掛彩，其中包含三百八十七位平民及二百六十八名安保部隊成員。美國國務院官員披露，美利堅政府、軍方及包機自週末起已撤離約莫二百五十名美國公民及其直系親屬，據悉，目前以色列境內約有七十萬美國公民，多數兼具美以雙重國籍。
