Israel Continues Strikes in Iran Despite Ceasefire Deal

2 hours ago 12

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Israeli Air Force continues to carry out attacks in Iran, said a security official to The Times of Israel on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, despite US President Donald Trump and Iran agreeing to a ceasefire for two weeks.

Meanwhile, Iran has fired several salvoes of ballistic missiles at Israel since the ceasefire was reported to take effect.

Furthermore, although the Prime Minister of Pakistan stated that the ceasefire would also cover Lebanon, there is no indication that Israel has halted its operations against Hezbollah to date.

Earlier, a White House official told CNN on Tuesday night that Israel was part of the two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran announced by US President Donald Trump.

This announcement came just an hour and a half before the deadline set by Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face increased military attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Israel has also agreed to suspend its bombing campaign while negotiations continue, the official said.

CNN reported that Israeli officials are disappointed with the temporary ceasefire agreement reached by the US with Iran, according to an Israeli source familiar with the matter.

However, the source stated that Israel would comply with the ceasefire, following Trump's instructions.

Nevertheless, Israel does so reluctantly. "Israel still has more targets on its list and more objectives to be achieved through military action in Iran," the source said.

When asked by CNN in mid-March, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to answer whether Israel would stop its attacks on Iran if Trump reached a ceasefire.

But he acknowledged that Trump is a "leader" and that he is an "ally."

"Ultimately, President Trump makes his own decisions, and do I respect it? Yes, I respect it," Netanyahu told CNN during a press conference on March 18.
