Israel shares extraordinary footage of Palestinian being crushed by Iranian missile shot out the sky
Israel shared surprising footage of the only confirmed death from Iran’s massive missile attack — a Palestinian in the West Bank who was crushed by an intercepted fuselage.
On Tuesday, Iran launched its largest ballistic missile barrage against Israel ever, firing roughly 200 hypersonic ballistic missiles.
Though videos from Tuesday showed a large number of missiles hitting the ground, no Israeli casualties were reported, with much of the population taking cover in bomb shelters.
Only one death has been reported so far: a Palestinian man in the West Bank, originally from Gaza, who was killed when the fuselage of one of the missiles landed on him. A security camera caught the graphic footage of his death, which was then published by Israel’s official X account.
“We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: the Iranian regime is dangerous, destructive, and one of the greatest threats to regional and world stability,” Israel wrote in the caption of the video.
The man was identified as Samih Asali, 37, originally from the Gaza Strip but residing in Jericho. His death and biographical information were confirmed by Hussein Hamayel, the Palestinian governor of the area, Middle East Eye reported.
Footage shared online showed large crowds of Palestinians celebrating the missile attack. Iran had previously plummeted in popularity among Palestinians in recent months over the perception that it was not doing enough to help their cause.
Hamas also celebrated the attack, saying in a statement that Iran’s leadership was “honorable” and that the barrage sent a “strong message” to the enemy.
“We express our pride in our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and our appreciation for their stand in the face of the unbridled Zionist arrogance,” the statement reads.
Iran fired approximately 300 missiles at Israel in April, but many of those were cruise missiles and drones, which are easier to shoot down than ballistic ones.
A 2022 U.S. assessment estimated that Iran was in possession of over 3,000 ballistic missiles, a number that is likely to have increased since then. Its proxy, Hezbollah, possessed roughly 150,000 missiles of various qualities, though a significant proportion have been destroyed in Israel’s blistering air campaign over the past few weeks.
