The ceasefire between Israel and Iran, announced just hours earlier, is already under strain.
US President Donald Trump said both sides had agreed to the
ceasefire, effectively ending the 12-day war.
Iran and Israel also confirmed that they would pause
hostilities.
However, the Israeli prime minister’s office vowed to
“respond forcefully” to any violations of the truce.
Before the truce began, both sides exchanged heavy fire
overnight.
A few minutes before the truce, an Iranian ballistic missile
hit a residential building in Israel’s southern city of Beersheba, killing four
people.
Hours into the truce, the Israeli military said it identified
missiles launched from Iran.
The IDF said air defence systems are “operating to intercept
the threat” and told people to hide in shelters until further notice.
However, Iran has denied the attacks.
The IDF has vowed to “respond with force” to what it calls
Iran’s “severe violation”.
In response, Iran’s supreme national security council issued
a statement about “imposing the halt of the war” on Israel and its “terrorist
supporters”.
The council warned that “any further aggression will be met
with a decisive, firm, and timely response by Iran”.
