Iran and Israel agreed to ease strikes against each other after a flare-up in violence threatened to derail peace negotiations and led President Donald Trump to appeal for de-escalation. 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised statement Monday that Israel would hold its fire in Iran for now but would respond should Tehran attack again. 
Earlier, local TV station N12 reported that strikes in south Lebanon, where Israel is fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants, would continue at full force. 
Iran had earlier announced an end to its military operations against Israel. 
But its central military command warned that if Israel continued to attack, including in southern Lebanon, “much harsher and more crushing actions than before will be on the way,” the semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing a statement.
