ALBAWABA - The Israeli Home Front announced that the army has detected rocket launches targeting northern Israel despite a ceasefire deal announced by US President Donald Trump.
Israeli Channel 12 reported Tuesday that two rockets were launched from Iran and were intercepted by the army.
On the other hand, Iran denied launching missiles towards Tel Aviv as the Iranian Television said "reports of missile launches from #Iran after the ceasefire are baseless".
According to Israeli media, sirens were reported in wide areas of northern Israel after detecting missile launches from Iran.
In response, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to respond forcefully to what he said was a "violation of a ceasefire". He added that the Israeli army was instructed to carry out high-intensity operations against targets in Tehran.
The Israeli army posted on X: "Sirens sounding in northern Israel due to missile fire from Iran." In another post, it added: "For the third time in the last hour, Israelis are currently running to shelter due to another missile launch from Iran."
Meanwhile, the Israeli Army said that it is preparing to intercept missiles targeting the country on Tuesday morning.
Earlier on June 24, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country agreed to the ceasefire deal with Iran that was proposed by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning.
Netanyahu's office explained in a statement that Tel Aviv reached all its war goals in Iran and that it agreed to the ceasefire.
"THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!" Trump said via Truth Social.
On the other hand, Iran didn't make any announcement regarding the proposed ceasefire deal by the US president, as Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said that "as of now, there is NO 'agreement' on ceasefire or cessation of military operations," according to AFP.
"However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards," Araghchi said on social media.
