A senior Israeli official said Monday that Israel has paused its retaliatory strikes against Iran following a request from US President Donald Trump, Arutz 7 and the Times of Israel report.

The official added that Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon will continue in the coming days “at full force.” He also said Israel will continue striking the Dahieh district if attacks against Israeli civilians and communities persist.

According to the official, Israeli leadership believes the current round of fighting with Iran has come to an end.

Earlier Monday, Trump called on Israel and Iran to stop their exchanges of fire after Iran was accused of violating the ceasefire late Sunday night.

“Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting,’” Trump wrote on social media.

On Sunday night, Trump urged Israel not to respond militarily to Iranian missile fire directed at northern Israel.

Speaking to Barak Ravid of Channel 12 News, Trump said, “I am going to call Netanyahu right now and tell him not to strike back.”

He added, “The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully, Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back, it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3000 years.”

Trump also said the US was “very close to a final deal with Iran” and warned that he did not want the current escalation to derail negotiations.

“I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate. Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,” he stressed.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Command, which coordinates between Iran’s military and the Revolutionary Guards, announced Monday that its operation against Israel had ended. However, the group also threatened a severe response to any future Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The Iranian statement claimed that the attacks were carried out in response to Israeli operations in southern Lebanon and the Dahieh area of Beirut.

“Following the acts of aggression and evil by the cruel Zionist regime in southern Lebanon and in the Dahieh area, which were carried out with the support of criminal America, Iran’s armed forces delivered a painful response to this regime, as part of support for the oppressed Lebanese people,” the statement said.

The command claimed Iran’s actions were “a response from which the fake Zionist regime and its supporters must learn a lesson,” while announcing that “the operation by the armed forces is hereby declared concluded.”

“It should be emphasized that in the event of continued acts of aggression and evil, including in southern Lebanon, far harsher and more crushing measures than before are on the way,” the Khatam al-Anbiya Command warned.
