On Saturday (27th July), around 12 people including children were killed in a rocket strike by Hezbollah in the town of Majdal Shams in Golan Heights.
As per reports, the deadly attack was carried out by the Islamic terror outfit from Lebanon. The rocket fired by Hezbollah landed on a soccer field, leaving children and young teens dead.
Most of the victims were aged 10-20. The victims did not have time to escape the bloody carnage. Several dozen others were injured in the attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised a swift response against the Islamic terror outfit.
12 faces that I hope will haunt every anti-Israel activist.

According to Baruch Padeh Medical Center, 4 people were brought to the facility in a serious condition. Ziv Medical Center in Safed informed that 32 victims were admitted to the hospital.
While speaking about the matter, a medic named Idan Avshalom stated, “We witnessed great destruction when we arrived at the soccer field, as well as items that were on fire. There were casualties on the grass and the scene was gruesome.”
In video footage that has come to light, parents of the attacked children could be seen searching for the victims on the soccer field.

Although Hezbollah initially took responsibility for killing 12 victims, it later retracted its statement and claimed that it had ‘nothing’ to do with the incident.
The Israeli Defense Forces pointed out that the attack was indeed carried out by the Islamic terror group from Chebaa village in Lebanon as determined by its assessment and intelligence.
Col. Avichay Adraee informed, “Despite its attempts to deny: Hezbollah is responsible for the massacre in Majdal Shams and the killing of children and boys on the soccer field.”

Some within Israeli media are claiming that it was an iron dome interceptor and not even from south Lebanon.

In the meantime, Islamists on social media began peddling conspiracy theories to falsely implicate Israel and give a clean chit to Hezbollah.
“BREAKING: THE ‘ATTACK’ ON ISRAEL WAS AN IRON DOME INTERCEPTOR MISSILE FAILURE. Some within Israeli media are claiming that it was an iron dome interceptor and not even from south Lebanon. The interceptor was fired to stop Hezbollah’s rockets at northern occupied Golan it failed and landed in the soccer field,” tweeted Sulaiman Ahmed.

One ‘independent journalist’ Richard Medhurst also attempted to whitewash the Islamic terror outfit. He claimed, “No proof Hezbollah did this. Your iron dome has misfired in Majdal Shams before.”

New reports show that an Israeli Iron Dome missile fell on the sports field.

Another Islamist supporting ‘political commentator’ Jackson Hinkle alleged, “BREAKING: Hezbollah DENIES INVOLVEMENT in the attack on the city of Majdal Shams. New reports show that an Israeli Iron Dome missile fell on the sports field. Stop the ZIONIST LIES @Israel!”
To be clear, all evidence (and now @IDF assessment) indicated a Hezbollah rocket/missile strike against civilians (kids at a soccer game) in Israel has occurred. No, (X rumor), it was not a @IDF Iron Dome interceptor fall out. https://t.co/bLppqgMSvP

This is despite the fact that video footage of the rocket strike of Hezbollah has surfaced on social media.
