Israeli defence minister orders attacks on Iran after ceasefire 'violation'

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday he has ordered the country's military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran’s violation of a ceasefire with Israel.

The directive followed an announcement by the military that it had detected missile launches from Iran towards Israel.

Less than three hours earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump had said that the ceasefire was now in effect. Katz said the military had now been instructed to carry out high-intensity operations against targets in Tehran.
