People began to take to the streets.

In Tel Aviv, after reports of the liquidation of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei, people have begun to take to the streets. Israelis are cheering, singing songs and waving flags. According to Israeli media, similar spontaneous gatherings are taking place in a number of Iranian cities.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu showed him a photograph of Khamenei's body, which was allegedly recovered from beneath a destroyed residence in Tehran. Channel 12 News reported that the image was also presented to Israeli and US officials after the body was discovered by Iranian authorities.

In the morning of February 28, Israel launched a massive strike on the supreme leader's residence, opening a series of attacks on targets inside Iran. This evening, Israel's ambassador to the United States informed American officials that the operation had ended with Khamenei's elimination. A source familiar with the situation confirmed this information to The Times of Israel, noting that similar data was previously published by Axios.
