An oddly fitting way for the Palestinians to celebrate. Most likely the livestock were also feelin the love that night.

2 Palestinians Dead, at Least 25 Wounded in Gaza From Random Celebration Shooting

As the cease-fire began in Gaza, Tuesday evening—it was supposed to start at 7 PM but rockets and mortar shells continued to fall in Israeli territory as late as 7:15 PM—the V Day celebrations erupted in Gaza, after 50 days of clashes.

As is common on such occasions, thousands flocked in the streets, with many shooting randomly in the air, because that’s how folks have been expressing happiness in this region since the invention of gunpowder.

And then people started to drop in the streets. According to tweets from Gaza, as many as 2 locals were killed from those gunshots, and at least 25 were injured.

An 8 PM tweet in Arabic read: “Gaza: wounded in shooting in the air, internal calls for citizens to express their happiness by other means.”

Curb your enthusiasm.

There is an episode of MythBusters where they tested this;

In the case of a bullet fired at a precisely vertical angle (something extremely difficult for a human being to duplicate), the bullet would tumble, lose its spin, and fall at a much slower speed due to terminal velocity and is therefore rendered less than lethal on impact. However, if a bullet is fired upward at a non-vertical angle (a far more probable possibility), it will maintain its spin and will reach a high enough speed to be lethal on impact.
 
At what angle and direction coud I fire say, a .223 bullet and have it come down in ANY middle eastern country? Hmmm 3000 £/> 32○₩_15%=¥\, heck never mind.
