- US President Donald Trump says a ceasefire agreed between Israel and Iran is now in effect, and urges both sides not to violate it.
- The announcement comes after Iran launched several volleys of missiles at Israel, killing at least four people in the southern city of Beersheba.
Israeli military claims to knock out Iranian missile launchers
In a statement, Israel’s military says its fighter jets have attacked missile launchers in western Iran that were primed to be fired at Israel.
The military shared footage that appears to show strikes on several Iranian launchers, claiming they have now been destroyed.
The latest statement from the Israeli Magen David services, the emergency services, they are now confirming four dead, two with moderate injuries, and 20 light injuries, especially from that missile strike that struck a building and caused a lot of damage.
The crews are still sifting through the rubble of the damaged building to make sure that nobody is stuck under the debris. This was significant – successive rounds of salvos fired from Iran.
We have not heard anything from Israeli officials yet and that is to the great frustration of many Israeli commentators.
Right now, what we know is that there was this declared ceasefire from Donald Trump.
Iran, according to some news outlets in Iran, considers it in effect, and we are waiting to see if there are any statements.
