At least 11 people, mainly children and young adults, were killed by a Hezbollah rocket that hit a soccer field in Israel-controlled Golan Heights over the weekend.
According to the New York Post, Israeli officials confirmed that the attack by Hezbollah targeted the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams.
40 more were reported injured in the attack, with some listed in critical condition.
Additional footage showed parents searching for their children following the rocket attack.
Earlier this month, Hezbollah reportedly launched more than 200 rockets and drones at Israeli army positions.
Hezbollah claimed it fired hundreds of rockets and “explosive drones” at army positions in northern Israel and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in retaliation for an Israeli strike.
In January 2024, Ibrahim Al-Aminboard, chairman of the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, threatened to wage war “without any limits” against Israel if it initiates a war against Lebanon.
Al-Aminboard’s words were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
“What has happened in practice is that the rules of the conflict that prevailed before October 7 have collapsed. The enemy is trying to impose new rules, and it is doing so [by means of action] on the ground, not through diplomacy, and based on its perception – which is apparently shared by its American and European allies and even by some Arabs and Lebanese – that the resistance is deterred, otherwise it would have entered the war with all its force from the very first day,” MEMRI reported at the time.
