At least 12 people, mostly children, were murdered in a terrorist attack Saturday afternoon in Israel after Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon, launched dozens of rockets at a soccer field.
The Islamic terrorist attack on Majdal Shams, a small village in the Golan Heights, also resulted in dozens of people being hurt.
The attack was the deadliest that Israel has experienced since Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group based in Gaza that is backed by Iran, launched an unprecedented attack on October 7 in which thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel and killed 1,200, wounded more than 5,000, took hundreds of people hostage, and unleashed a brutal campaign of rape and torture and women and children.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that an intelligence assessment found that Hezbollah launched the attack “from an area located north of the village of Chebaa in southern Lebanon.”
Hezbollah has terrorized Israel in the nearly 10 months since the October 7 attack, firing thousands of rockets, drones, and missiles at communities and military sites in the northern part of the country, which has resulted in numerous fatalities and hundreds of thousands of Israelis being displaced from their homes.
The situation between Israel and Hezbollah has been on the brink of escalating into a full-blown war for several months now, and the attack on Saturday might be the catalyst that sparks it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in the U.S. for the past few days and announced that he was cutting his trip short and returning home immediately following the attack, vowing that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.”
