AP News BEIRUT (AP) — Israeli strikes hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut Wednesday afternoon without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

US, Israel and Iran agree to a 2-week ceasefire but much remains unclear and some attacks continue

AP News TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran, the United States and Israel agreed to a two-week ceasefire, an 11th-hour deal that headed off U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to unleash a bombing campaign that would destroy Iranian civilization.
