The truce announced a few hours ago by US President Donald Trump in the conflict between Israel and Iran had an unstable start. On Tuesday (24), Israel accused Iran of violating the ceasefire with a missile attack, which was intercepted by the army.
According to Israeli defense, Iranian shots sounded alarms in the north, shortly after the government of Benjamin Netanyahu announced the approval of the truce. The Israeli Emergency Service Magn David Adom (MDA) reported that it has not recorded victims so far after the attack.
Although the sides have accepted a ceasefire, after 12 days of direct conflict, the army of Israel said it will maintain a “high level of warning” and respond to “any violation” of the ceasefire with Iran after reaching its military objectives in 12 days of offensive, according to statements by Israeli military spokesman, Effie Defie.
“The FDI (Israel Defense Forces) fully met all objectives defined (…). The Chief of Staff ordered the FDI to maintain a high level of alert and preparation for a forceful response to any violation of ceasefire,” Defrin said in a press release.
After Israel’s accusation of Iranian missile attack, Tehran replied that Israel would also have violation of the truce less than half an hour after the deal came into force. “The Zionist aggressor regime attacked Iranian soil centers on three waves until 9am today (local time, 2:30 am Brasília),” said a spokesman for Unified Operations Command, Khatam Al-Anbiya, quoted by the News Agency Fars.
The attack would have occurred after the start of the ceasefire announced by Trump: 7am in Israel and 7:30 am in Iran (1h from Brasilia).
