"We arrived at a soccer field and saw destruction and objects on fire. Injured people were lying on the grass and the sights were dire. We immediately began triaging the victims, some of the injured were taken to local clinics and our teams also targeted the clinics. During the incident there were additional alerts and the medical treatment of the victims is still ongoing."
The IDF spokesman told Lahi Fe:
The Chief of Staff, Major General Herzi Halevi, conducts a situation assessment with the commander of the Northern Command, R. AMT, the commander of the Air Force and other members of the General Staff Forum following the launches into the Majdal Shams area and the north of the country. We emphasize that a rocket was fired into the Majdal Shams area and not a suspicious aerial target.
The head of the Druze community, Sheikh Muafek Tarif, said immediately after the disaster:
"We are deeply shocked by the terrible massacre that happened tonight in the Druze settlement of Majdal Shams, in a brutal and murderous terrorist attack that hurt innocent children who were playing football. It is impossible to imagine and describe the horror of the children and their shattered parts lying on the grass. A reformed country cannot afford continued harm to its citizens and residents. This is the ongoing reality for the past nine months in the settlements of the north. Tonight it crossed every possible red and black line. Out of this terrible shock and pain - I don't want to say anything more now.'
An emergency meeting in the leftist associations among the brain-eating amoebas, how can the Netanyahu government be blamed for this as well.
You don't cover hundreds of incidents of missile strikes, including deaths in Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee, you only cover Majdal Shams all of a sudden?!
Please don't disturb the feast in honor of the child in the washing machines before she is laboring in the front, she decides
This is a religious war....Israel must control Arab education! Teach liberalism and the separation of religion from the state! According to Or and former rabbi Yaron Yedan
Hahahaha funny
One of them is in Tel Aviv and Yemen is burning
Nine months of Katbam net in the north and there is no response Lebanon needs to burn the port of Beirut capitals power stations a proper and appropriate response that will create deterrence
Not absorbed, these missiles have no god and they don't notice who they hit.
My condolences to the families who lost their dearest
Muslims kill Muslims, the missiles don't launch themselves. In Syria alone, Muslims have killed more than half a million Muslims, and no one in the world cares
