“OHezbollah terrorists violently attacked and killed children today, whose only crime was to go out into the street to play football. They have not returned.”Herzog said in a statement, after the death of 11 young people, according to the latest toll, in the shootings that hit the Arab town of Majdal Shams, in the Golan Heights, according to the Israeli army.
The Israel Defense Forces accused Hezbollah of being responsible for the attacks, but the organization has already rejected the accusations in a statement in which it said it had “no connection with the incident” and “categorically denied all false allegations”.
According to the Israeli army, helicopters, ambulances and mobile intensive care units have been sent to Majdal Shams – a city on the border between northern Israel, southern Lebanon and Jordan.
“We arrived at a football pitch and saw destruction and burning objects. The injured were lying on the grass,” rescuer Idan Avshalom said, quoted in a statement released by Israel’s MDA emergency service.
“Officers and bomb disposal experts from Northern District Police are currently securing the area to prevent any further risk to the public,” police said in a separate statement.
The rocket attack came after a Lebanese security source announced that four fighters from the Iranian-backed Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah had been killed in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has confirmed the deaths of four of its fighters. The movement has been exchanging fire with the Israeli army on an almost daily basis in the cross-border area since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, triggered by Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.
Hezbollah says its attacks on Israel are aimed at supporting its ally Hamas and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
