Thank God they’re okay, but my sibling’s house collapsed.”Aftershocks as strong as magnitude 6.5 have been recorded, while smaller tsunami waves were detected in Indonesia, Palau and Japan.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the tsunami threat has passed as emergency crews continue to assess the extent of the damage..Iran and Israel have announced they will stop striking each other, following a day of missile exchanges.The two countries halted attacks after an appeal from US President Donald Trump, though Tehran said it would resume strikes if Israel continued to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon.The 24-hour wave of attacks was the most direct confrontation between Iran and Israel since an April ceasefire and threatened to damage efforts to reach an agreement between the US and Iran to end the three-month-long war.Feelings were mixed in Tel Aviv after the halt was announced with some saying Israel is defending its people and others, including Entrepreneur Gal Nakash, saying there was nothing gained from the latest attacks."These 12 hours of missiles are a waste of time for us So basically now Israel is locked in terms of Lebanon and locked in terms of Iran
