Israel and Iran have agreed to stop their 12-day war. The U.S. President, Donald Trump, suggested a plan for peace, and both countries said yes. This war caused problems in the Middle East. Before this, Iran attacked a U.S. army base in Qatar with some missiles. Then, Iran sent more missiles to Israel, and at least five people died on Tuesday morning. After that, Israel also attacked places in Iran with many airstrikes before the sun came up.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel and Iran have agreed to stop fighting. He said they did this with Donald Trump's help. Netanyahu also said that Israel reached all its goals in the 12-day fight. For example, they stopped Iran's plans for nuclear weapons. He added that Israel hurt Iran's army and some government places. Netanyahu warned that Israel will fight hard if Iran does not follow the agreement to stop fighting.
Israel attacked cities in Iran with many bombs until 4 AM. After that, Iran fired many missiles at Israel. People in Israel quickly went to bomb shelters when the sun came up. Israel's rescue services said that at least five people died and eight people were hurt. Police said that Iran's 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 burnt cars in the streets. Broken glass and pieces of buildings were everywhere. Many rescue workers came to search for anyone still trapped 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 rockets, but not from big missiles that hit directly.
A rocket hit a big 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 soon after Iran fired some missiles at an American military base in Qatar. Iran did this because the U.S. had bombed its nuclear sites. Iran told the U.S. about the attack before it happened, so no one was hurt. Trump wrote online that the ceasefire would start around midnight in Washington. 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" from 1967. In that war, Israel fought against some Arab countries. Trump's name for the conflict is important for Arab people, especially Palestinians.
In the 1967 war, Israel 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 to be named, said that Trump talked directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the fighting. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Steve Witkoff talked 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 before that he would not give up.
Officials said Iran's attack made them close the country's sky for emergency planes for a few 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 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. Planes were flying again in Qatar's sky, which means Qatar thought the danger was over.
Many people have died in the fighting. In Israel, 29 people have died and over 1,000 are hurt. Attacks in Iran have killed at least 974 people and hurt 3,458, according to a group called Human Rights Activists. They 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 families leave Israel by plane. It is thought that about 700,000 Americans are in Israel, and many of them are also Israeli citizens.
