Within hours of the ceasefire’s implementation, Israeli
defense officials reported fresh missile launches originating from Iranian
territory. Sirens sounded in both northern and southern Israel, including in
Beersheba, where a residential building suffered a direct impact. Emergency
services responded to significant damage, and reports of casualties are
emerging.
The ongoing missile fire threatens to undermine the
credibility of the ceasefire, raising concerns among diplomats and
international mediators. “A ceasefire is only meaningful if all parties
immediately halt offensive actions,” said a United Nations spokesperson.
“Continued hostilities risk collapsing the fragile truce and jeopardizing
humanitarian relief efforts.”
Global leaders who helped broker the ceasefire have called
for restraint and urgent dialogue to salvage the agreement. The persistence of
missile attacks has not only heightened tensions within the region but also
unsettled global energy markets, with oil prices remaining volatile amid fears
of renewed escalation.
Civilians across Israel remain on high alert, with many
seeking shelter as emergency systems are activated. Both Israeli and Iranian
officials have exchanged accusations over the ongoing attacks, each blaming the
other for violating the terms of the truce.
With the ceasefire’s future uncertain, international
observers warn that any further escalation could rapidly plunge the region back
into full-scale conflict.
This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more
details become available.
