Iran and Israel say they have halted attacks on each other, after the two countries exchanged fire for the first time since April's truce, BBC reported. 

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that his country was holding fire "at the moment". But he stressed that the struggle against Iran and Hezbollah was "not finished".

It came hours after Iran's armed forces said it had stopped operations following the delivery of a "painful response" to Israel.
