Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the IDF to strike in Tehran after Iran launched missiles towards Israel’s North when the ceasefire was technically in effect.
“I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran,” Katz said in a statement.
Though there were no reports of injuries in Israel, Katz said that the new policy is to respond with strength to even a small violation of the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump overnight between Monday and Tuesday.
