A ceasefire declared by US President Donald Trump between Israel and Iran is being put to the test in its early hours, after a missile fired into Israel prompted accusations of a breach.

Shortly after Trump announced a truce in the 12-day war on Tuesday morning, Israel said it had detected a missile launch from Iran. Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the military to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with powerful strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.”
