Until now, Israel has resisted a full-scale war on its northern border with Lebanon.
This, despite the continual attacks on Israel’s northern territory by hezbollah, Iran’s much stronger, much better armed proxy that controls Lebanon.
But they can’t avoid it any longer
From Chana Roberts’ article at israelnationalnews.com:
At least 29 people were injured – and 11 of them killed – when a rocket hit a soccer field on Saturday afternoon in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in northern Israel.
Magen David Adom has reported that of the injured, six are in serious condition, three are in moderate condition, and ten suffered light injuries and shock.
The soccer field is located near a park, and among the injured and killed are children and teens, ages 10-20 years old.
MDA Senior EMT Idan Avshalom, who arrived in the initial minutes, described: “I left a nearby kibbutz and arrived at the scene within a few minutes. I saw a large commotion on the soccer field, with severe scenes of casualties and fatalities, destruction, and burning objects. We conducted an initial triage of the victims, and large MDA forces arrived immediately to direct the injured to 3 local clinics.”
Hezbollah has denied any connection to the incident.
However, the IDF reported that, “According to an IDF situational assessment and the intelligence in our possession, the rocket launch toward Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization.”
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization is behind the rocket launch at a soccer field in Majdal Shams which caused multiple civilian casualties, including children, earlier this evening.”
Hezbollah denies it fired the rocket? Then who did? Who has control of southern Lebanon? Who has been firing at Israel daily from that area since October 7 of last year and regularly before that?
There is no doubt who did this and no doubt what Israel must do – even though you can bet your bottom dollar the world will attack Israel for doing it.
I wish them every possible success.
