Israel and Iran exchanged fire for the first time since a US-brokered ceasefire that began on April 8. Both sides warned they would retaliate if attacked again. According to AP News, missiles were seen over the West Bank on Monday morning, with smoke from interceptions visible and explosions heard in Jerusalem. A large missile fragment was found wedged in the ground near Jericho. Farmers in Najha, Syria, sprayed water on a burned agricultural field next to projectile debris, according to Military.com. The Houthi rebels claimed an attack on Israel on Monday and said Israel-affiliated vessels would again be a target in the Red Sea. According to CNN, Iran’s airspace has returned to normal conditions and Iran suspended its operations against Israel. Iran’s officials told CNN that Tehran has 'no problem' pushing forward with peace talks, so long as it is confident the US side is being honest and sincere. According to twz.com, Israel halted attacks on Iran. CNN reported that Israel will lift restrictions on schools and workplaces on Tuesday at 6 a.m. local time. The US and Israel began striking Iran on February 28, according to SCMP. President Donald Trump urged both sides to stand down to let the sputtering peace process move forward, and suggested that the United States would be declaring 'total victory' over Iran in the next two weeks, according to CNN and twz.com. Regional powers and the Trump administration pushed to prevent the conflict from escalating into a wider war, according to France24.
