Tel Aviv – There was a cautious optimism in Israel on Wednesday that the ceasefire with Iran would hold, at least for the moment. The 12 -day conflict killed 28 people in Israel and hundreds in Iran. The ceasefire negotiated by the Trump administration – and applied by President Trump personally on Tuesday, because he seemed dangerously close to failure before he even settled – led the command of the Israel’s inner front to raise restrictions on the movement in the country, with Ben Gurion International Airport for the reopening of commercial flights.
Stores and restaurants were open and the Israelis were on Tel Aviv beach, which was largely empty for days while Israel has crossed nuclear, military and other Iranian targets and Iran responded with missiles launched in Israel.
Israel and Iran quickly won the victory. An Israeli military spokesman said on Wednesday that Iran strikes had presented the country’s nuclear program “several years”, while President Trump told journalists at a NATO summit in the Netherlands that Iran’s enrichment work had been delivered “in the decades”.
These affirmations come despite an initial assessment of American military intelligence which shows, according to three familiar sources which spoke with CBS News on Tuesday, that Iran’s nuclear capacity was only found per monthAnd not completely destroyed.

While Israeli and American officials have publicly declared that a complete evaluation of the damage inflicted on Iran would take a while to compile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described him as a historic victory.
“We have removed the threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said in a video address on Tuesday evening. He did not make any specific mention of the damage which would have been inflicted on the nuclear capacities of Iran.
Iran “will not have a bomb and they will not get rich,” Trump said on Wednesday.
Iran, on the other hand, has tried to present its limited reprisals attack targeting the air base of Al-Wudeid in Qatar, which houses thousands of American forces, like a victory, despite none of the missiles reaching their target. The heads of the Islamic Republic have clearly indicated that, regardless of the damage caused to the Iran’s nuclear program, the theocratic leaders of the country had not only intended to resume but to accelerate its enrichment work – and without any surveillance from the United Nations Atomic Surveillance Agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The Iranian Parliament met on Wednesday and the legislators voted to accelerate a proposal that would effectively stop all cooperation with the AIAA – a cooperation which has extended under the previous international nuclear agreement with Iran, and which continued despite serious challenges since Mr. Trump withdrew the United States of the Pact during his first mandate. The AIEA board of directors voted, against Iran’s annoyance, just before Israel launched its attacks almost two weeks ago to censor the Islamic Republic for the first time in 20 years for not working with its inspectors.
Iranian parliamentary president Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf criticized the AIEA before the vote on Wednesday, saying that the agency “even refused to claim to condemn the attack on Iranian nuclear installations”. He said that for this reason, the Iranian National Atomic Energy Agency “will suspect cooperation with the IAEA until the security of nuclear installations is ensured, and the Iranian Pacific nuclear program will progress at a faster rate.”
The contradictory information on the extent to which the Iran’s nuclear program has been degraded has left Israelis uncertain of what comes Wednesday, including the medical student Roy Meiri.
When asked if he felt more safe, Meiri told CBS News: “I still don’t know, because I don’t really know the real harm we did to them there.”
But life in Israel, with the cease-fire that made, looked at least more than it was done two weeks earlier. All the country’s wartime restrictions were lifted by the army and the parents brought their children back to schools across the country.

After being locked at home for days, Alma Rustamov was looking forward to bringing her seven -year -old son Aaron to the beach.
“After saying that there is no more war with Iran, the first thing, we came here,” she told CBS News.
It was also a success to the economy of Israel. The restaurant of Chaim Ashkenazy in Tel Aviv generally makes a non-stop business in Shawarmas, and he said that the security locking meant a lot of lost money.
The Israeli army has said that it would now pay its attention to the decimated band of Gaza, where Israeli forces have been accused of mass murders, many of which are close to aid distribution sites as desperate Palestinians are looking for food, almost every day in recent weeks. The FDI said incidents were being examined.
The Ministry of Hamas in Gaza said on Wednesday that at least 49 people were killed in the previous 24 hours, trying to access the help. The body after the body was brought to Nasser hospital in the city of southern Gaza, Khan Younis. The head of the United Nations Palestinian Agency, UNRWA, criticized on Tuesday a distribution group of new controversial aid supported by the United States and Israel as “a death trap costing more lives than it saves”.
With the ceasefire in Iran, however, there was a renewal of the hope that diplomacy could help to relaunch talks to end the war in Gaza and bring the 20 Israeli hostages which were still considered alive.
