A senior Israeli official confirmed Monday that Israel would halt its strikes in Iran at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump, while stressing that military operations in Lebanon would continue “at full force,” Ynet reports.
The remarks came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone with Trump and amid reports that the Israeli premier was considering stopping further attacks in Iran following less than a day of escalation.
“At Trump’s request, we are stopping the strikes in Iran,” the senior Israeli official said.
Following a meeting of the restricted security cabinet and against the backdrop of the Iranian threat, the official said Israel would continue to act in Lebanon. “We are continuing in Lebanon at full force, according to the equation that if they fire at communities, we will strike in Dahieh,” he said.
