JERUSALEM, June 8 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli official said on Monday that Israel would halt its airstrikes in Iran at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump, Israel's Channel 12 TV news reported.
However, the official said that the Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon would continue in the coming days "at full force." He added that Israel will also bomb Dahieh, Beirut's southern suburb, if the attacks on Israeli communities and civilians continue.
The remarks came amid the second day of the worst escalation between Israel and Iran since a truce took effect in April. It was triggered by a deadly Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese capital on Sunday, in which Israel said it targeted a Hezbollah command center. ■
