Iran launched a series of missile attacks on Israel soon after President Donald Trump announced a two‑week halt to U.S. strikes against Tehran on Tuesday.
Trump announced late Tuesday that he agreed to extend his Iran deadline by two weeks, pausing American military action during that window. Despite the tentative agreement, sirens sounded across Israel shortly after Trump’s post on Truth Social. Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin, reporting live from Tel Aviv, said alerts of incoming missiles began almost immediately.
“Jesse, as soon as we got the ceasefire, we got a bunch of missile fire. [It] wasn’t five minutes from the Truth Social post to the point where the phones started alerting that missiles had launched from Iran. The first of the missiles was intercepted, and the shrapnel landed outside of Jerusalem, not causing any problems,” Tobin told Jesse Watters. “What we saw here in Tel Aviv were these cluster bombs, like you see on your screen right now. They break up and look a bit like a 4th of July firework and usually has one bright point that comes streaking down to earth, but the bomblets themselves, they shine bright when they first break up, then they get dark as they cool off, and then they explode when they hit the ground, and it looks like I’m getting an alert for one more missile.”

Tobin reported that, while Israeli officials remain dissatisfied with Tehran’s 10-point proposal, they plan to honor the agreement.
“Now, as far as the ceasefire agreement itself, what we’re hearing from Israeli officials is that they wanted to see more objectives achieved in this war before there was a ceasefire. They’re not particularly pleased with the proposals from the Iranians in this 10-point proposal, but they say they will abide by the ceasefire, and it is President Trump’s decision to make,” Tobin said.
Prior to the ceasefire, Israeli forces struck Iran’s largest petrochemical facility at the South Pars natural gas field on Monday, destroying the plant that produces roughly half of the country’s petrochemical output.
