Palestinians were seen celebrating in Gaza on Tuesday, as Iran launched a wave of missiles towards Israel.

Footage shows men, women and children watching the missiles overhead, as well as cheering and clapping.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) stated that nearly 200 missiles were launched from Iran, 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, while Israel stated that many had been intercepted by its air defences.

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.

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'.

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.
