Israel has reportedly decided to halt its attacks on Iran, but will continue its military engagement with Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian militant group in Lebanon.
Reuters reported on June 8 (local time), citing an Israeli official, that "Israel has decided to stop its airstrikes against Iran."
In relation to this, another Israeli official told Hebrew-language media that "this decision was made following a request from U.S. President Donald Trump."
The official emphasized, "However, Israel will not stop its offensive targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon," adding, "The current phase of conflict (with Iran) seems to have come to an end. We are awaiting a final decision from the political leadership."
In fact, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not announced any additional developments beyond the two rounds of airstrikes against Iran that took place overnight.
On the other hand, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes on Tyre in southern Lebanon earlier today and subsequently announced that it had intercepted three rockets presumed to have been fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
Previously, according to CNN and other outlets, President Trump held phone conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, following similar talks the day before.
The calls took place before Iran announced the suspension of its military operations against Israel.
While the details of the conversations between the two leaders have not been disclosed, it is highly likely that President Trump repeatedly urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to halt attacks on Iran.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office has yet to release any statement despite repeated requests for comment following the escalation of hostilities with Hezbollah and Iran last night.
