Residents of Tehran took to the streets on Tuesday to celebrate Iran's missile strikes on Israel.
Footage shows large crowds gathered in Palestine Square, waving Iranian and Hezbollah flags. Many held photographs of key figures, including the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and former officer in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qasem Soleimani, while others celebrated fireworks.
"Everyone is so happy. We are here to share our happiness with the kids of Gaza and Lebanon," a local said.“The Zionist regime is just struggling now. It is going to be destroyed. Now, it’s on the verge of total destruction," added a second.
The IDF stated that 180 missiles were launched, coming down in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other areas. Two injuries were reported as well as the death of a Palestinian man in the West Bank.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran had made a 'big mistake' and warned of 'consequences', while US President Joe Biden, who admitted his military had assisted in shooting down some of the rockets, called the assault 'defeated and ineffective'.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strikes were in response to the assassinations of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoshan in Lebanon, as well as the death of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Israel has never commented on the latter's killing.
In April, the IRGC launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel following a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
On Tuesday, Israel also began a 'limited and targeted' ground incursion into Lebanon, following a week-long campaign of airstrikes in the south of the country.
