Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates Despite Ceasefire Announcement

Global markets reacted sharply as Israel vowed a forceful retaliation following Iran's alleged breach of a US-brokered ceasefire. Three civilians were killed in Be'er Sheba after missile strikes hit the southern Israeli city early Tuesday. The attack occurred hours after President TRUMP announced a truce between the two nations.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered continued military operations against Tehran, stating the strikes targeted regime assets and terror infrastructure. Iranian state media denied launching post-ceasefire attacks, creating conflicting narratives amid escalating tensions.

Prime Minister Netanyahu supported the military response, claiming previous airstrikes had successfully degraded Iran's nuclear capabilities. The renewed conflict emerges despite diplomatic efforts, with Israel acknowledging US support while preparing for further confrontation.
