Israel’s Magen David Zafon rescue services said at least three people were killed and eight injured in the early morning barrage. A residential building in Israel’s south sustained heavy damage, according to emergency responders.
Waves of missiles sent Israelis to bomb shelters for almost two hours in Tuesday morning.
Previously, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire,” but its status remained unclear as attacks continued Tuesday.
Trump’s announcement came soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites.
Iran’s foreign minister said that as long as Israel stopped its attacks by 4 a.m. local Tehran time Tuesday, Iran would halt its own. But nearly an hour after that deadline, Israel’s military warned its public that Iran had launched missiles towards it as sirens sounded. At least one missile interception could be seen over the skies of Jerusalem and warnings of three further attacks followed as day broke.
