Iran launched waves of air strikes at Israel as the deadline approached for a ceasefire to which Tehran is reported to have agreed.
The launches came on Tuesday after 4am local time (7:30 GMT) in Tehran, the time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would stop its attacks if Israel ended its air strikes.
Waves of missiles sent Israelis to bomb shelters for almost two hours in the morning.
Several people were reported killed in the early morning barrages, but there was no immediate word of further attacks.
Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue services said at least eight more people were injured.
The Israeli military later said people could leave the shelters but cautioned the public to stay close to protection in the coming hours.
Trump’s announcement that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” came soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack on Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the US bombing of its nuclear sites.
Israel said later on Tuesday that it has agreed to the ceasefire after having “achieved all objectives” in its war with Iran.
