GOLAN HEIGHTS – At least twelve Israelis have been confirmed killed in an explosion in the Occupied Golan Heights.

Speaking on the incident, Spokesman of the Israeli Defence Forces, IDF, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the explosion was caused by rockets fired by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah has denied involvement in the incident.

“This evening, the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon fired a rocket at children playing soccer on a soccer field in Majdal Shams in northern Israel.
Hezbollah then lied to the whole world and claimed they did not carry out this attack.
This is a lie”, Hagari said just as IDF carried out strikes across villages in Lebanon.

The Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, held a situational assessment at the operation center in Majdal Shams with the Commanding Officer of the 210th Division, BG Yair Peli, and additional commanders.

Additionally, they visited the area where the rocket hit the soccer field in Majdal Shams and held discussions with the heads of the local authority and residents.

Earlier today (Saturday), the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, spoke with the Head of the Druze community, Shaykh Mowafaq Tarif, and expressed deep sorrow on his behalf and on behalf of the entire IDF on the deaths of the children, and asked to give strength to the families and the entire community.
