Lebanese Partygoers Celebrate Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel Amid Escalating Conflict [WATCH]

As Iran launched a new wave of missile attacks against Israel early Monday, killing at least five people and injuring hundreds, scenes of celebration emerged from Lebanon, where partygoers were seen dancing and cheering as missiles flew overhead toward Israeli targets, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Videos circulating online over the weekend showed revellers at multiple pool and rooftop parties in Lebanon watching and applauding as long-range missiles launched from Iran soared toward Israel.

In one video, a large crowd was seen clapping and dancing in a swimming pool as missiles lit up the night sky in the background.

Other footage showed rooftop celebrations where music blared while people looked skyward, filming the strikes. A saxophonist in a colorful shawl performed next to a DJ deck, playing music as missiles streaked through the air.

The videos stand in stark contrast to scenes in Israel and Iran, where civilian casualties, injuries, and damage have escalated significantly since the latest exchange of fire began on Friday.

Israel launched a series of strikes on Iranian territory, targeting nuclear facilities and populated urban areas, triggering a swift response from Tehran.

Iran’s missile barrage on Monday targeted several locations in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva.

The Israeli Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service reported that five civilians — two men and two women in their 70s, and one additional person — were killed after missiles struck four residential sites.

Dozens more were injured, including a 30-year-old woman listed in serious condition.

In Tel Aviv, explosions from Israel’s air defense systems intercepting incoming Iranian missiles were reported just before dawn, with black smoke rising over the coastal city.

In Petah Tikva, a missile hit an apartment building, causing extensive structural damage. Emergency personnel responded to multiple scenes, rescuing trapped residents and evacuating the wounded.

“We clearly see that our civilians are being targeted,” said Israeli police spokesman Dean Elsdunne at one of the impacted buildings in Petah Tikva.

Despite the destruction, some residents expressed support for continued military action. “It’s totally worth it,” said Yoram Suki, whose apartment was destroyed. “This is for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

Israeli forces reported that they had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in Iran and struck ten command centers belonging to the Quds Force in Tehran.

Brigadier General Effie Defrin stated, “Now we can say that we have achieved full air supremacy in the Tehran airspace.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has since vowed additional retaliation, claiming its next round of strikes will be “more forceful, severe, precise and destructive than previous ones.”

Iranian officials reported that 224 people have been killed in the country since Friday, with more than 1,277 wounded, though they did not specify how many were civilians.

A missile also landed near the U.S. consulate in Tel Aviv, causing minor damage but no injuries, according to U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee.

The conflict continues to escalate, with no indication that either side is prepared to de-escalate unilaterally.
