Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised statement, he describes Iran and Hezbollah as weaker than ever, and says Israel is holding off attacks on Iran for now, but suggests a fight with them is not yet over.

He says if there are further attacks on Israel from Iran then his government will respond forcefully, and they will exercise a right to self-defence.

Netanyahu also mentions his conversations with US President Trump, who he is known to have spoken to since strikes began on Sunday. 

Israel's defence minister Israel Katz says that the country's military will continue to operate in Lebanon, after exchanging strikes with Iran over the last day.

Katz says that the IDF will continue to operate against Hezbollah and Israel rejects threats from Iran.

Earlier Iran said that it had ceased its attacks on Israel, but would resume them if Israel continued strikes in Lebanon.
