The head of the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that “the campaign against Iran is not over” as a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect. President Donald Trump also vowed that Israel will not attack Iran and told Israel to bring its pilots home.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the ceasefire with Iran unveiled by President Donald Trump and said he had agreed to it, but warned his country would "respond forcefully to any violation.

After twelve days of intense strikes between Israel and Iran – punctuated by the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend and Tehran’s performative retaliation – a US-brokered ceasefire appeared to be holding on Tuesday.
