At the end of the visit to Majdal Shams village, the actor Kenny Seif: "This is one of the most complex and difficult days in my life. Just an unimaginable disaster. Children go down to the field to play football and find their deaths, it's something that is hard to understand and hard to bear. I wish the bereaved families, that they never know any more sorrow."

The team's goalkeeper Sherif Kiuf said: "Since Saturday we are in pain and crying. These children, some of them Maccabi Haifa fans, came to play football and found their deaths. They were murdered. An unimaginable and very difficult event. The entire Druze community is in pain and crying, the entire country is crying. We came here to hug the families."

Wiam Amasha, a former player of Maccabi Haifa and a resident of the village of Buqaata, the village next to Majdal Shams, who could not stop his crying, said:
"It's hard for me to speak, I know the children, I coached some of the injured, I'm a figure they admire, very hard feelings. It was just an ordinary Saturday, these kids gave their mother a kiss and went out to play soccer on the field. They just wanted to play soccer. I will visit Also the injured from the difficult and painful incident, with some of whom I have already spoken and they have been released to their homes.

I saw that there are alerts about alarms in Majdal Shamas, unfortunately this is a routine thing. Suddenly they wrote that there were casualties, everyone knows everyone, we got there and saw pictures that are hard to look at. Besides the children who were killed, there were 30 other children around and there is a play area for babies nearby. This lot is always full of kids, especially on Saturday. Suddenly such a disaster fell upon us. let's stay together We will stay strong. We will pray for the recovery of the injured and that God will give strength to the parents, families and all of us to recover from this disaster."

  1. With all the identification let's remember.
    It is a settlement where one sympathizes with the Syrian regime of Assad who massacred half a million Syrians in a civil war. and that helps Lebanon's Hezbollah. And they do not recognize Israel and the rights of the Jewish people in the Golan, which are historical thousands of years long, long before the Druze, there were Jewish settlements and synagogues in the Golan. These are the facts they deny, being loyal to the Syrian narrative and supporters of the Syrian occupation of the Golan from 48 to 67. Am I wrong?
