Rocket Strike Kills 12 Children In Israeli-Occupied Golan Heights

Israeli soldiers participate in a training exercise near Katzrin in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights

A recent video has surfaced, capturing the harrowing moment when a rocket hit a football pitch in Majdal Shams, located in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The incident resulted in the tragic deaths of 12 young individuals.

According to reports from Israel and the United States, the rocket was allegedly launched by Hezbollah forces based in Lebanon. However, Hezbollah has denied any involvement in the attack, although they did acknowledge targeting Israeli military sites in the vicinity.

The video footage begins with children innocently playing on swings in a nearby park adjacent to the football field. Suddenly, an air raid siren blares, signaling imminent danger.

Despite the warning, the children initially appear unsure of how to react and do not immediately seek shelter. Within seconds, the sound of the incoming rocket grows louder, culminating in a deafening impact as it strikes the ground mere meters away from the camera.

The footage captures a brief but intense moment as a massive fireball erupts upon impact, causing the children to scream in terror. The girl recording the scene is seen falling momentarily before scrambling to her feet and leading the others to safety behind a nearby wall.

Amidst the chaos, the girl can be heard desperately calling out for her mother as the alarm continues to blare in the background. The video concludes approximately 30 seconds after the rocket's devastating impact.

This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region and the devastating impact it has on innocent lives. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those affected by this senseless act of violence.
