Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. This plan was suggested by U.S. President Donald Trump. Their war lasted 12 days and caused problems in the Middle East. Before this, Iran attacked a U.S. base in Qatar with missiles. They did this because they wanted to get back at them. Both countries said yes to the plan after Iran sent more missiles to Israel. These missiles killed at least five people on Tuesday morning. Also, Israel attacked different places in Iran with many airstrikes before the sun came up.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's leader, said that Israel and Iran agreed to stop fighting. Donald Trump helped them. Netanyahu told his security team that Israel had reached all its goals in the 12-day fight against Iran. This included stopping Iran's nuclear and missile plans. Israel also hurt Iran's army leaders and some government buildings. They also took control of the sky over Tehran. Netanyahu said Israel will fight back strongly if Iran breaks the agreement to stop fighting.
Israel attacked cities in Iran with many bombs until almost 4 in the morning. After that, Iran fired many missiles at Israel. People in Israel had to quickly go to safe places when the sun came up. At least five people died and eight people were hurt, said Magen David Adom, a rescue group in Israel. Police said that Iranian missiles hit and damaged at least three buildings where many people lived in the city of Beersheba. Rescue workers found five dead people in one building and looked for more. At least 20 people were hurt. Outside, there were many burned cars on the streets. The ground was covered with broken glass. Many rescue workers came to find people who were still stuck inside the buildings. Police said some people got hurt even when they were in their safe rooms. These rooms are made to protect people from small rockets, but not from big missiles that hit directly.
A bomb 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 was after Iran shot some missiles at an American army base in Qatar. Iran did this because America had bombed its nuclear sites. Iran told the U.S. before the attack, so no one was hurt. Trump said on social media that the fighting would stop around midnight in Washington. He said this would officially end the war. Trump called the fighting the "12 Day War." This is like the "Six Day War" in 1967. In that war, Israel fought against some Arab countries. This name is important for Arabs, especially Palestinians.
In the 1967 war, Israel took land from other countries. They took the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, the Gaza Strip and Sinai from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Later, Israel gave Sinai back to Egypt, but they still have the other areas. A White House official said that Trump spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the fighting. This official did not want their name to be known. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Steve Witkoff spoke to the Iranians in different ways. The White House said that a bombing on Saturday helped Israel agree to stop fighting. They also said that Qatar helped to make the agreement. We don't know what part Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's leader, had in the talks. He had said online 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 a few emergency planes 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 showed that normal planes were flying in Qatar's sky again. This meant Qatar believed the danger to the country was over.
Many people have died in the fighting. In Israel, 29 people have died and over 1,000 have been hurt. Attacks in Iran have killed at least 974 people and hurt 3,458 others, according to a group called Human Rights Activists. This group said that 387 of those who died were not soldiers, and 268 were security workers. The U.S. has helped about 250 Americans and their close family members leave Israel by plane. About 700,000 American citizens are believed to be in Israel.
