According to Abu Azzoum, there is a general sentiment of happiness and joy in Gaza, with people flocking to the streets to celebrate the attack.
Witnesses in Gaza reported seeing Iranian ballistic missiles flying over the Strip, heading towards Israeli settlements. Abu Azzoum confirmed that he witnessed some of these missiles targeting the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, which was intended to divide the northern and southern parts of the region.
The news of the Iranian attack appeared to bolster the spirits of the people of Gaza, who have been enduring constant bombardment and siege. The celebrations in Gaza highlight the complex dynamics of the ongoing conflict between Israel, Iran, and various factions in the Middle East.
