A viral video circulating on social media, particularly on Twitter, where children in Gaza are seen rejoicing over the missile attack by Iran against Israel.
The children appear to be jumping and dancing in the streets to celebrate what a majority described as their moment of revenge after months of Israeli airstrikes that have ravaged their homes.
Thousands of people lose their lives in Gaza due to heavy bombardment; old people, children, and even infants also come within its ambit.
The mood of relief and celebrations in the Gaza Strip follows a recent successful attack where Iranian missiles hit Tel Aviv amidst Israel’s inability to intercept the strike with its famed Iron Dome defense system.
Reports indicate that the attack managed to reduce to ashes 30 F-35 fighter jets of Israel, which had been used in previous military operations linked to the killing of 40,000 children.
The latest development drew an international outcry, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris joining the rhetorical attack on Iran.
Taking to Twitter, she condemned what she called Iran’s “reckless and brazen attack” as she reiterated that the United States supports Israel’s security. Harris said cooperation between the United States and Israel during the attack saved lives, while vowing continued defense of both U.S. forces and Israeli interests against Iranian aggression.
Joyful celebrations in the Gaza Strip contrast jarringly with the grave concern of the international community, as tensions rise in a region permanently scarred by violence.
