A ceasefire between Iran and Israel that was to become effective at midnight Eastern Daylight Time has already been breached by Iran, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). At 12:18 AM EDT, they posted that sirens were sounding in Israel due to a missile launch from Iran.

However, Iran claims that the ceasefire did start at the appointed time - Tehran is seven and a half hours ahead of Washington, DC.

Not sure if they're going to claim that their clocks weren't synced or what the explanation will be for these time discrepancies.

A few hours earlier a ballistic missile hit Beersheba; as of press time the reported number of people killed (from former IDF soldier Eli Afriat) was four, and multiple people were rescued from the rubble.

Previously, IDF announced that a number of Iranian targets were hit Monday afternoon.
