Iranian state television reported Tuesday that a ceasefire had begun in its war with Israel, even as Israel warned the public of a new missile barrage launched from Iran.
Iranian state television announced the ceasefire in a graphic on screen, not immediately acknowledging the new missile barrage coming after the deadline set by US President Donald Trump in his earlier ceasefire announcement, reports AP.
A series of Iranian barrages before the ceasefire deadline killed three people and injured at least eight others, Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue services said. At least one person is believed trapped in the rubble and a residential building in Israel’s south sustained heavy damage, according to emergency services.
Trump’s announcement that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” came soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. Israel has not acknowledged the Trump ceasefire announcement.
