Israel has agreed to President Donald Trump's proposal for a ceasefire with Iran, saying the goal of removing Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile threat was "achieved."

It comes as four people were killed in an Iranian air strike on the southern Israeli city of Beersheba just moments before the ceasefire took effect.

Meanwhile, nine people were killed in the early hours of Tuesday in Israeli strikes on residential buildings in northern Iranian province of Gilan, the deputy provincial governor told Iranian media.

Israreli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to address the nation later today.
