In the last reported strikes before the ceasefire, missiles killed four people in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, the Israeli ambulance service said.
Iranian officials said nine people, including a nuclear scientist, were killed in a strike on a residential building in northern Iran.
GLOBAL RELIEF
Despite the early threats to the ceasefire, the response across the region and wider world was largely one of relief at the prospect of an end to the biggest direct confrontation ever between the two foes.
Global stock markets surged and oil prices tumbled after the ceasefire announcement, in the hope it heralded a resolution of the war two days after the US hit Iranian nuclear sites with huge bunker-busting bombs.
“We’re happy, very happy. Who mediated or how it happened doesn’t matter. The war is over. It never should have started in the first place,” said Reza Sharifi, 38, heading back to Tehran from Rasht on the Caspian Sea, where he had relocated with his family to escape strikes on the capital.
“I was so worried that Iran would end up like Syria or Iraq,” said Maryam, 41, who stayed in Tehran because her family had no money to travel.
“I want my two children to grow up in peace. I want them to live their childhood happily.”
Israel attacked on Jun 13, hitting Iranian nuclear sites and killing the top echelon of its military command in the worst threat faced by the Islamic Republic since war with Iraq in the 1980s.
During the campaign, Israel said it was prepared to topple Iran’s clerical rulers if necessary to achieve its aims and struck symbolic targets unrelated to the military, culminating on Monday with a strike on Tehran’s Evin prison.
Iranian officials say hundreds of people have been killed in airstrikes. Full information about the extent of the damage cannot be confirmed independently, with media tightly controlled.
Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes killed 28 people in Israel, the first time large numbers of Iranian missiles have penetrated its defences.
Trump entered the war on Saturday with strikes on Iranian nuclear sites buried under a mountain using huge bombs that Israel does not possess.
