Meanwhile, there were no reports of major attacks or damage in either Israel or Iran on Wednesday. Trump had said both sides would stop fighting following their ceasefire agreement. But the Israeli military said on Tuesday night that it intercepted two drones "most likely from Iran" that were making their way toward Israel.
It also said on Wednesday that its air force had intercepted a drone that was "apparently" launched from Yemen and did not enter Israeli territory. It remains to be seen whether the ceasefire will be maintained.
