Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. The U.S. President Donald Trump suggested this plan. Their war lasted for 12 days and caused problems in the Middle East. Before this, Iran had fired some missiles at an American base in Qatar. Both countries agreed to the deal after Iran sent more missiles to Israel, and at least five people died. Also, Israel attacked Iran with many airstrikes early on Tuesday morning.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel and Iran agreed to stop fighting. He said they did this with Donald Trump's help. Netanyahu also said that Israel reached its goals in the 12-day fight against Iran, like stopping Iran's nuclear plans. He added that Israel also hurt Iran's military leaders and some government places. Netanyahu said Israel now controls the sky above Tehran. He also said that Israel will react strongly if Iran breaks the agreement.
Israel attacked cities in Iran with many bombs until about 4 AM. Then, Iran fired many missiles at Israel. People in Israel had to run to safe places when the sun came up. At least five people died and eight people were hurt. This news came from Israel's Magen David Adom rescue services. Iranian missiles killed 5 people in Israel. Police said that the Iranian missiles damaged at least three buildings where many people lived in Beersheba. Rescue workers found five dead bodies in one building and looked for more. At least 20 people were hurt. Outside, there were many burned cars on the streets. Broken glass and stones were everywhere. Many emergency workers came to look for anyone still inside the buildings. Police said some people got hurt even inside the safe rooms in their homes. These rooms are made to protect people from rockets, but not from missiles that hit them directly.
A bomb hit the biggest city in southern Israel. This happened before Trump said the fighting stopped. Trump announced that Israel and Iran agreed to stop fighting completely. This was after Iran sent some missiles to an American base in Qatar. Iran did this because America had bombed Iran's nuclear sites. Iran told America before they sent the missiles, so no one was hurt. Trump said online that the fighting would officially end the war around midnight in Washington. Trump called the fighting the "12 Day War." This name is like the "Six Day War" in 1967 when Israel fought some Arab countries. This name is important to people in the Arab world, especially Palestinians.
In the 1967 war, Israel took land from its neighbors. They took the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Later, Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt, but they still have the other areas. A White House official, who did not want their name known, said that Trump talked directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the fighting. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff talked to the Iranians in different ways. The White House said that the bombing on Saturday helped Israel agree to stop fighting. They also said that the government of Qatar helped to make the agreement happen. We don't know what part Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, had in the talks. He had said earlier online that he would not give up.
Officials said Iran's attack made them close the country's sky for urgent flights for a few hours. Some planes had to fly in circles over the Mediterranean Sea, according to news from Israel. Airports in Israel have been closed since the war with Iran started, but some urgent flights began to arrive and leave in the last few days. On Tuesday morning, Qatar Airways started flying again after Qatar closed its sky because of the Iranian attack. Information about flights showed planes flying in Qatar's sky again, which means Qatar thought the danger was over.
Many people have died in the conflict. In Israel, 29 people have died and over 1,000 are hurt. Attacks in Iran have killed 974 people and hurt 3,458 others. A group called Human Rights Activists gave this information. They said that 387 of the people who died were not soldiers, and 268 were security workers. The U.S. helped about 250 Americans and their families leave Israel on special planes. About 700,000 Americans are thought to be in Israel, and many of them are also Israeli citizens.
