Israel reports four dead in missile barrage from Iran

The Israeli military said on Tuesday that Iran had launched another volley of missiles towards Israel, prompting the public to take shelter.

The missile launches came after 4 am (0030 GMT) in Tehran, the time Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended their aerial bombardment.

Iran's official SNN news agency said that Tehran fired a last round of missiles towards Israel before a ceasefire comes into effect.

Reports cited witnesses saying that they heard explosions near Tel Aviv and Beersheba.

According to Israeli media, a building was struck and three people died in the missile attack on Beersheba in southern Israel.

The Israeli emergency service confirmed four deaths in southern Israel, making them the first casualties reported since US President Donald Trump's ceasefire announcement.

Trump had said on Tuesday that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran had begun.

"The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office released a statement confirming the suspension of fighting with Iran.

"After the operation's goals have been reached, and in full coordination with US President Trump, Israel has agreed to the President's offer for a bilateral ceasefire," the statement read.

According to the statement, the two "existential" threats — Iran's nuclear programme and its ballistic missiles — were "removed," with Israel adding that the country would respond "fiercely" to every violation of the ceasefire.
