"Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu described Iran and Hezbollah as 'weaker than ever' - and Israel 'stronger than ever' - as he addressed the nation following reports of a halt in the latest hostilities on Monday. "Iran and Hezbollah are weaker than ever, and we are stronger than ever. But our struggle with them is not yet over," he said. He also spoke of his conversations with US President Donald Trump. "I say this to you, dear citizens of Israel, just as I say it with appreciation and respect in my good conversations with my friend President Trump. With unity, determination, and wisdom, we will defend the State of Israel and together, with God's help, we will restore security to the north. security to the north," he concluded. Earlier, Iran said it was ending attacks on Israel, amid reports the IDF was doing the same. Donald Trump told them both to 'stop shooting'. Israel and Iran exchanged strikes overnight for the first time since the latest ceasefire. Iran's launched missiles against Israel on Sunday - with Tehran saying it was responding to the latest IDF attacks on Beirut - while Israel defied Donald Trump's call to stand down. Last week, reports suggested Trump had called Netanyahu 'f***ing crazy' in a phone call for threatening to attack Beirut's southern suburbs - which also saw Iran warn that it would halt talks if Israel did so. Monday marks the 100th day of the very first US and Israeli attacks on Iran in February. Iran responded by launching attacks on its Gulf neighbours - saying it was targeting US assets - while those Arab countries in the region, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and others, condemned Tehran's strikes as a violation of sovereignty, and a threat to regional security.
