Using these hints, we conducted more searches, and found news reports regarding this incident. As per reports, on 1 October, 2024 Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have launched over 200 missiles at Israel, claiming it was a response to the deaths of key figures like Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah. 

The attack also avenges IRGC Gen. Abbas Nilforushan, killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Iran has warned that any retaliation from Israel will be met with a more severe response.

Taking account of all these evidences, we can understand that this is an old video from when Iran attacked Israel. The viral video is old and not related to the recent airstrike by India on Pakistan.

Conclusion-Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be False. This is an old video from October 2024, when Iran launched Ballistic Missile attack against Israel. It is not related to the recent airstrike by India on Pakistan.
