At least three people have been killed in Beersheba, southern Israel, following a fresh wave of missile strikes launched by Iran, according to Israeli media reports. The attack marks one of the deadliest in the ongoing conflict, which has now lasted 12 days.

The renewed assault came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. In his statement, Trump said both nations had agreed to a truce aimed at ending the hostilities, which began on June 13 after Israel’s controversial strikes on Iranian targets.

However, Iranian officials have denied any such formal agreement. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said there was “no ceasefire” in place, though he noted Iran was willing to halt attacks if Israel ends its “illegal aggression” by 4 a.m. local time (00:30 GMT). Israel has not officially responded to the ceasefire claims as of now.

Earlier in the day, Iran retaliated against the United States by firing a salvo of missiles at the Al Udeid air base in Qatar, home to key American military operations in West Asia. The missile barrage followed the U.S.’s Sunday airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow.

According to Iranian authorities, more than 400 people — including 13 children — have been killed and over 3,000 wounded in Iran since Israeli strikes began. In Israel, at least 24 people have been reported killed due to Iranian missile attacks.

Meanwhile, Press TV, Iran’s state-affiliated outlet, has claimed that a ceasefire is now in effect, following multiple waves of retaliatory attacks on Israeli territory. The report has yet to be verified by independent sources or acknowledged by Israeli authorities.
