Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. This plan was suggested by U.S. President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war. Before this, Iran had sent some missiles to a U.S. base in Qatar. Then, both countries said yes to the plan. This happened after Iran sent more missiles to Israel, and at least five people died on Tuesday morning. Also, Israel attacked many places in Iran with planes before the sun came up.
Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel and Iran agreed to stop fighting, and Donald Trump helped them. He told Israel's security team that they had achieved all their goals in the 12-day operation against Iran. This included stopping Iran's nuclear weapons plans. Israel also damaged Iran's military leaders and some government buildings. Netanyahu said Israel now controls the sky over Tehran. He also said Israel will respond strongly if the ceasefire is broken.
Israel attacked cities in Iran until almost 4 AM. After that, Iran fired many rockets at Israel. People quickly went into bomb shelters when the sun came up. Five people died and eight were hurt, according to Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service. Police said that Iranian rockets damaged at least three buildings with many homes in Beersheba. Rescue workers found five bodies in one building and looked for more. At least 20 people were hurt. Outside, there were burned cars on the streets. Broken glass and pieces of buildings were everywhere. Many rescue workers came to search for people still stuck inside the buildings. Police said some people got hurt even in their safe rooms. These rooms are made to protect from rockets, but not from big missiles that hit directly.
A rocket hit the biggest city in southern Israel. This happened before Trump said the fighting had stopped. Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to stop fighting completely. This happened after Iran fired some missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar. Iran did this because the U.S. had bombed Iran's nuclear places. Iran told the U.S. before they fired the missiles, so no one was hurt. Trump said the ceasefire would start around midnight Washington time. He said it would officially end the war. Trump called the fighting between Israel and Iran the "12 Day War." This name is like the "Six Day War" in 1967. In that war, Israel fought against some Arab countries. This name is important to people in the Arab world, especially Palestinians.
In the 1967 war, Israel took land from different countries. They took the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan. They also took 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 spoke directly with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to stop the fighting. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff spoke to the Iranians in direct and indirect ways. The White House said that the bombing on Saturday helped Israel agree to stop fighting. They also said that the Qatari government helped to arrange the deal. It is not clear what part Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, had in the talks. He had said before on social media that he would not give up.
Officials said Iran's attack made them close the country's sky for emergency planes for some hours. Some planes had to fly in circles over the Mediterranean Sea, according to news from Israel. Israel's airports have been closed since the war with Iran started. But some emergency planes started to come and go 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 that normal planes were flying in Qatar's sky again. This means that Qatar thought the danger to the country was gone.
Many people have died in the fighting. In Israel, 29 people have died, and over 1,000 are hurt. Israeli attacks on Iran have killed 974 people and hurt 3,458 others, according to a group called Human Rights Activists. This group said that among those who died, 387 were not soldiers, and 268 were security workers. The U.S. has helped about 250 American citizens and their close family members leave Israel by plane. About 700,000 American citizens are thought to be in Israel, and most of them are also Israeli citizens.
