Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that Israel “will respond with force” after Iran’s “utter violation” of the ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump, adding that it will “continue the intensive operation to strike” Tehran, reports CNN.
“I have instructed the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) in coordination with the Prime Minister to continue the intensive operation to strike in Tehran and thwart regime targets and terror infrastructure in Tehran,” he said.
The Israeli military intercepted two missiles launched from Iran at Israel, an IDF official told the media.
The military said earlier on Tuesday that the ceasefire with Iran “went into effect this morning.”
Meanwhile, Iran has rejected Israeli claims that it fired missiles at Israel after agreeing to a ceasefire, according to the IRIB broadcaster and the ISNA news agency.
