The June 23 strike targeted the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran.
President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is "not happy" with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both "violated" the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.
Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran's nuclear program back by months.
El Al airline says it will no longer limit the number of passengers departing Israel, following the state’s announcement that restrictions on activity at Ben Gurion Airport were lifted. The airline said it will expand its flight schedule to more destinations in the coming days.
Previously, there was a limit of 50 passengers per flight.

The West must get used to ambiguity around Iran’s nuclear program, Amirhossein Sabeti, a member of parliament representing Tehran, said Tuesday.
"A ceasefire does not mean the end of the war," he said, adding "this ceasefire marks the beginning of a new phase of conflict, because the Israelis themselves know well that despite the blows they dealt to Iran over the past 12 days, they failed to achieve any of their objectives."
"Not only have Iran’s nuclear infrastructures remained intact, but Israel will soon suffer a more significant blow -- when, with the majority vote of parliament, the entry of the IAEA’s spy inspectors into Iran will be blocked. After two decades of transparency, Iran’s nuclear activities will no longer be visible to inspectors, and the West will soon have to get used to 'ambiguity around Iran’s nuclear programme,'" he said.
Iran suffered damage in 12-day war, but damage to Israel was "far greater," Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an address Tuesday.
Pezeshkian acknowledged a ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been achieved after the 12-day war. The war was brought to an end "through the will and strength of the great Iranian nation," Pezeshkian said.
Pezeshkian said Israel failed in its objectives in the war, which were destruction of facilities, dismantling of nuclear knowledge and the incitement of social unrest. He said while Iran suffered losses -- loss of lives of its citizens and damage to Iran’s infrastructure -- Israel’s losses were far greater.
Iran was victorious in the war because of the "unity, calm and cohesion" of the Iranian people, Pezeshkian said.
Families of prisoners in Tehran's Evin Prison have been sharing accounts from their loved ones after a strike by the Israel Defense Forces on Monday damaged parts of the prison.
While the Monday strike was described in some reports as "symbolic," the Iranian judiciary news agency confirmed that "parts of the prison have been damaged."
A video published Tuesday by Iranian Tasnim News Agency shows a damaged area of the prison. Fars News agency reported that a doctor at the prison clinic was killed.
Evin is the largest prison in Iran for political prisoners and crimes related to national security in the country. There have been reports of human rights violations, including torture and forced confessions at the facility. It is not exactly clear how many inmates were inside the facility at the time of the strike, nor the number of injured or killed.
