Iran will 'shake' after alleged ceasefire violation, Israeli minister says

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also responded to the Iranian missile launch. "Tehran will shake," Smotrich posted on his X account.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said he had instructed the country's military to "respond with force" to the missile launch from Iran toward Israel's north, violating the ceasefire between the two sides.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also responded to the Iranian missile launch.

"Tehran will shake," Smotrich posted on his X account.

The Israeli army said one or two missiles launched from Iran toward the north of Israel had been intercepted, as explosions were heard in the area.

It was not immediately clear how the latest fighting would influence the ceasefire plans of US President Donald Trump.

Trump had said on Tuesday that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran had begun.

"The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office released a statement confirming the suspension of fighting with Iran.

"After the operation's goals have been reached, and in full coordination with US President Trump, Israel has agreed to the President's offer for a bilateral ceasefire," the statement read.

According to the statement, the two "existential" threats — Iran's nuclear programme and its ballistic missiles — were "removed," with Israel adding that the country would respond "fiercely" to every violation of the ceasefire.
