Following a ceasefire, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday the detection of missiles launched from Iran targeting Israel. This immediate threat prompted the activation of Israeli defense systems to intercept the incoming projectiles.
Simultaneously, civil defense sirens blared, urging the Israeli public to seek immediate shelter in designated safe zones until further notice. The directive emphasized remaining in these protected areas until official clearance was given.
In response to this escalation, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a strong statement: he directed the military to retaliate forcefully against this clear violation of the ceasefire agreement. This assertive response underscores the seriousness with which Israel views the Iranian missile launches.
The geopolitical tension also impacted global financial markets. The US Dollar Index (DXY) experienced a slight recovery after initial losses, trading near 98.25, though it remained down 0.18% for the day. Against other major currencies, the US dollar showed mixed performance, weakening most significantly against the Japanese Yen.
