Description

The streets of Tehran were filled with billboards on Wednesday celebrating the Iranian ballistic missile strikes on Israel.

Footage shows large billboards with images depicting the strikes as well as portraits of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, and other political and military figures. Slogans such as 'today is the day of revenge' and 'honour of the believers' are seen emblazoned on the signs.

On Tuesday, Iran launched a wave of missile attacks on Israel in response to the killings of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

The region has seen a dramatic surge in violence after Israel widened its military operations, launching air strikes against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen alongside a ground invasion across the Lebanese border. More than 1 million people in Lebanon have been forced to flee the fighting.

Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah escalated in mid-September after a series of explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah left dozens dead and thousands injured. Hezbollah responded by launching hundreds of rockets into northern Israel.

Lebanese and Palestinian factions have been exchanging cross-border shelling with Israeli forces since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
