IRAN has denied firing missiles towards Israel after claims made by the Israeli military.
Shortly after 8.30am UK-time on Tuesday, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) claimed it had identified missiles which had been launched from Iran.
It said that air defence systems are "operating to intercept the threat" and that air raid alerts had been activated in the north of Israel following the detection of missiles.
However, Iran has denied firing missiles at Israel, according to Iranian state media.
It comes just hours after a ceasefire deal was reportedly reached between Iran and Israel.
US president Donald Trump announced a deal had been agreed on his social media platform Truth Social overnight, although it took some time for both Israel and Iran to confirm.
Earlier, Iran's foreign minister had said it would only stop its attacks if Israel did the same.
The chief of the general staff of the IDF said the military will "respond with force" to what it called Iran's "severe violation".
"In light of the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime, we will respond with force," Eyal Zamir is quoted as saying in a post on Twitter/X by the IDF.
