ALBAWABA - A video circulated on social media allegedly showing Iranian missiles flying over Iraq after being launched by Tehran toward Israel. 

In the unconfirmed footage posted on X, multiple missiles were seen in the dark sky believed to be part of the Iranian drone attack against Israel.

According to some people online, the alleged video was taken from Basra city in southern Iraq.

The Israeli army said that 100 drones were launched by Iran toward Tel Aviv in response to the Iranian consulate attack in Syria killing seven Revolutionary Guards, two of them generals.

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned in a televised speech after Eid al-Adha prayers in the capital that Israel "will be punished" for attacking the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon have announced closing their airspace amid the growing tension in the region.
