The Israeli army announced that the Lebanese Hezbollah carried out attacks in the area of the Golan Heights, killing at least ten children on the soccer field.
According to information from the Israeli media, Hezbollah targeted the town of Majdal Shams, and one of the rockets also hit the soccer field.
The rockets also hit other parts of the town, and at least 30 people were injured.
“There is no doubt, Hezbollah has crossed all the red lines. We are facing an all-out war. I have no doubt, they will pay for this,” Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz said.
However, on the other hand, Hezbollah also spoke out and rejected the claims that they carried out the attack.
“We have nothing to do with this and categorically deny all false accusations,” Hezbollah said.
On the occasion of the attack, the Israeli army sent another statement.
“Hezbollah is behind the launch of this rocket that hit the soccer field and caused civilian casualties, including children,” they said.
The city that was bombed is also home to many residents who identify themselves as Druze. They mostly inhabit the areas of Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Palestine.
The spiritual leader of the Israeli Druze community also commented on the attack and described it as a brutal and murderous attack.
“It is impossible to imagine and describe the horrific images of children and their body parts scattered on the grass. All possible limits have been crossed in this case,” said Druze leader in Israel Muafak Tarif, Klix.ba writes.
