Israeli authorities reported that at least 11 people were injured in Majdal Shams, Golan Heights, after projectiles were fired from Lebanon on Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that approximately 30 projectiles crossed into Israeli territory, with one hitting the area near Majdal Shams.

Magen David Adom (MDA) stated that five individuals are in critical condition and six are in serious condition. Search operations are ongoing in the area to ensure the safety of residents.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been briefed on the situation and is conducting a security consultation with military officials. He is scheduled to hold a security assessment with defense leaders later today.

A team from MDA has been dispatched to the scene, providing medical assistance to the injured individuals, most of whom are between 10 and 20 years old. Paramedics are treating the wounded on-site and transferring others to local clinics for further care.

Idan Avshalom, a senior medic from MDA, described the chaotic scene at a soccer field where injured individuals were lying on the grass. Medical teams are working tirelessly to provide treatment to those affected.

Israeli police reported that munitions fell in multiple locations in the northern Golan region. Authorities are securing the area and conducting searches to eliminate any potential risks to the public.

The situation remains tense as emergency services continue to respond to the aftermath of the cross-border attack. Efforts are focused on providing medical care to the injured and ensuring the safety of residents in the affected areas.
