As conflict with Iran raged above, around 200 young Israelis transformed a bomb shelter into a makeshift nightclub, dancing the night away to pulsating techno beats. A viral video captures the scene with partygoers clad in costumes, drinks in hand, moving to the DJ’s tracks amid flashing lights and a sense of unity.

Despite frequent missile alerts and sirens that have become part of daily life since the war erupted on February 28, when US and Israeli strikes on Iran killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, triggering retaliatory attacks, these revellers chose celebration over fear, as reported by AFP.
