    Israel’s defence minister orders ‘intense strikes’ on Tehran

    Israel Katz has instructed the Israeli military to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran,” according to media reports.

    This comes shortly after the Israeli military said it was now safe to exit shelters.

    The Times of Israel said Iran fired two ballistic missiles and that both were intercepted.

      The Times of Israel said Iran fired two ballistic missiles and that both were intercepted.

      Does this make almost no sense to anyone else? If you’re going to violate the ceasefire, why would you only fire two missiles? Considering Israel’s success rate with shooting down missiles, these were almost guaranteed to be intercepted. Were they hoping Israel would just forget about their missile defense system? Even if that was the case, again, why only two? It’s like the entire goal was just to technically violate the ceasefire with no other gain.
