A ceasefire between Iran and Israel came into effect on Tuesday, following intense exchanges of fire just minutes before the truce deadline. The ceasefire was reportedly facilitated by U.S. President Donald Trump, who announced that both nations had agreed to a “complete and total” cessation of hostilities. Despite the agreement, Iran launched a final round of missile attacks early Tuesday, marking the fourth wave of its offensive on Israeli-occupied territories. The situation triggered emergency responses in Israel, where Magen David Zafon rescue services reported at least three fatalities and eight injuries. A residential building in southern Israel sustained significant damage during the missile barrage. For nearly two hours, Israeli citizens sought shelter from the attacks, reflecting the tension and human toll of the conflict. The ceasefire now offers a fragile hope for peace following a turbulent escalation.
Abba Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in the Middle East. May this ceasefire between Iran and Israel hold firm and become the beginning of lasting peace. Let Your wisdom guide the leaders of both nations to choose reconciliation over retaliation (The Bible, Matthew 5:9).
Lord, we lift up the innocent civilians in both Iran and Israel into Your loving care. Surround them with Your divine protection in these troubled times. Shield the vulnerable from harm, and bring peace to fearful hearts. We also pray that medical teams and humanitarian aid will reach every victim swiftly and effectively, bringing healing, hope, and relief (The Bible, Psalm46:1).
