President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

IDF says it has identified missiles fired at Israel from Iran

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel on Sunday and was activating its defensive systems to intercept the threat.

The Iran missile attack on Israel followed strikes carried out by the IDF this weekend on Iran-backed Hezbollah militant targets in southern Beirut, Lebanon.

The alleged missile attack aimed at Israel came just hours after Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei promised a "decisive and painful response" to Israel’s airstrikes on southern Beirut on Sunday.

Rezaei, spokesman for the Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran’s Parliament, issued a statement on social media, threatening, "This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place. Look at the sky of the occupied territories tonight."

IDF sent out a precautionary directive to mobile phones of residents in the area targeted by Iran, asking them to act responsibly and follow instructions to save lives.

Upon receiving an alert, the public is being instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.

US proposes de-escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, official says

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding ongoing negotiations between the two countries, a U.S. official told ABC News, and as Israel expanded its offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.

The U.S., the official said, proposed that Israel would refrain from escalation in the Lebanese capital Beirut in exchange for Hezbollah's halt of all attacks on Israel. That step, the official said, "would create space for gradual de-escalation and an effective cessation of hostilities."

Aoun "tried to advance this proposal and secure an agreement," the U.S. official said, but was stymied by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri -- the head of the Shiite Amal Movement and a longtime political ally of Hezbollah.

The official described Berri's response as "evasive and disappointing," and "placed the burden on Israel to stop shooting first."

"Hezbollah is following Tehran's lead. It clearly has no interest in the welfare of the Lebanese people. Iran wants to prolong the conflict in Lebanon so it can claim credit for 'saving the day,'" the U.S. official said.

"The United States does not expect Israel to absorb ongoing attacks on its civilians by a terrorist organization. The fastest way to de-escalate and protect civilians on all sides is for Hezbollah to stop firing immediately," the official added.
