The Prime Minister's Office responded to US President Donald Trump's demand that Israel not retaliate for the missile attack Iran launched against the Jewish State after 10 am this morning (Tuesday), in violation of the ceasefire which went into effect three hours earlier.
"The ceasefire was set for 07:00 this morning. At 03:00, Israel forcefully attacked in the heart of Tehran, struck regime targets and eliminated hundreds of Basij and Iranian security forces personnel," the PMO stated.
"Shortly before the ceasefire was due to take effect, Iran launched a barrage of missiles, one of which took the lives of four of our citizens in Be'er Sheva. The ceasefire took effect at 07:00.
"At 07:06, Iran launched one missile at Israeli territory, and two additional missiles at 10:25. These missiles were either intercepted or fell in open areas, and caused neither casualties nor damage.
"In response to Iran's violations, the Air Force destroyed a radar installation near Tehran.
"Pursuant to the conversation between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel has refrained from additional attacks.
"In the conversation, President Trump expressed his great appreciation for Israel, which achieved all of its objectives for the war, as well as his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire," the PMO's statement concluded.
Following the Iranian attack, Trump stated, "Israel unloaded a lot, and now I just heard that Israel went out because they felt it (the ceasefire) was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. That's not what we want, I tell you that."
While speaking with the press before leaving for a NATO summit, Trump expressed his frustrations, stating: "I'm not happy with Israel either."
He added: "I gotta get Israel to calm down now."
The President claimed that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire, but noted: "I don't think they did it intentionally, they couldn't bring people back."
He reiterated his anger with Israel's intention to retaliate against the violation and said he would try to stop it.
