At least 12 people were killed on July 27, all aged between 10 and 20, and dozens more were wounded when a projectile hit a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) blaming Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Videos posted to social networks showed a large blast at the soccer field and people scrambling to help the casualties later.
Israeli medics declared 10 of the victims dead at the scene, while two were declared dead at hospitals. More than 32 others were wounded, some of whom seriesly.
Hezbollah, who has been launching attacks from Lebanon against the IDF since the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, quickly issued a statement that it had “absolutely nothing to do with the incident” in Majdal Shams, whose Syrian population are known for their stand against the occupation of the Golan Heights.
“The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon categorically denies the false allegations made by some Israeli enemy media outlets and various media platforms about targeting Majdal Shams,” the statement reads.
Later it was reported that Hezbollah informed the United Nations that the deadly incident in Majdal Shams was the result of an Israeli Iron Dome interceptor missile failing.
The IDF however rejected that assertion, saying the attack “was carried out by the Hezbollah terror group” while citing “assessments carried out by the military and reliable intelligence information available to us.”
The military said it had determined that the rocket was launched by the terror group from an area just north of the Lebanese village of Chebaa.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesman, in a press conference from the scene identified the rocket that struck Majdal Shams as an Iranian-made Falaq-1.
“A Falaq-1 rocket struck here in the soccer field, it is an Iranian rocket, manufactured in Iran, a rocket with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives,” he said. “The forensic findings at the scene point to this rocket. Falaq-1 is only in use by the Hezbollah terror group, which carried out this attack from Chebaa.”
Earlier, Hagari said that according to an initial probe, rocket sirens sounded in the town “but this is an immediate alert — too short.”
“In the past hour, Hezbollah has been lying and denying responsibility for the incident,” Hagari said. “Our intelligence is clear, Hezbollah is responsible for the murder of innocent children.
Colonel Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, later said that the deadly incident was directed by Ali Muhammad Yahya, who is the commander of a rocket launching site in the Chebaa area.
“Despite its attempts to deny: Hezbollah is responsible for the massacre in Majdal Shams and the killing of children and boys on the soccer field,” Adraee added.
Top military and security officials presented Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with “options for action against Hezbollah” in response to the attack, his office said.
“Gallant determined the courses of action and instructed the defense establishment accordingly,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was still in the United States after his speech to Congress and meetings with top American officials, moved up his flight back to Israel by several hours following the incident.
Israel’s Channel 12 cited a senior Israeli official in Netanyahu’s delegation as saying: “The events in the north will bring about a dramatic turning point in fighting in the area.”
Later, Kan news cited an unnamed senior Israeli official as saying “The disaster at Majdal Shams could signal a change of direction in the war.” A security official told the public broadcaster: “This is an incident that we will not gloss over. There will be a severe response.”
Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck a series of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon overnight, according to the IDF. However, Hebrew media noted that this was not the response to the incident in Majdal Shams.
The targets included weapon depots and other infrastructure in the towns of Shabriha and Burj al-Shemali near Tyre; the Beqaa Valley; and the southern Lebanese towns of Kafr Kila, Rab al-Thalathine, Khiam, and Tayr Harfa. No casualties were reported by Lebanese media.
All in all, Israel appears to be planning to use the deadly incident in Majdal Shams as a pretext to escalate against Hezbollah, which could lead to an all-out war with Lebanon.
Clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border have already claimed the lives of 30 Israelis and more than 500 people in Lebanon. A war will cause way more casualties in addition to much destruction on both sides. It would also seriously destabilize the entire Middle East.

the joos will lie enough and someday when they tell the truth about slaughtered civilians, people won’t believe them or care. the same sort of people who don’t care about murdered civilians, will someday visit that attitude on everyone who isn’t them regardless of current social mores or ties.
like i predicted some weeks ago already. israel is planning and preparing big war against iran, and of course it wants the usa to do the main part of this dirty work for them, hence betting on getting the usa involved into the war one way or the other. after killing iranian president and installing an israeli agent as new iranian president, israel now feels itself strong enough to start war against iran -& lebanon.
everything israelis say is a lie, they’re the only ones who massacre children and civilians, and they always blame everyone else for their own crimes. the local druze leadership in majdal shams has confirmed hezbollah’s account that iron drone missiles regularly fail and fall on them
and the druze in the golan heights are expendable to the crocodile tears of the zatanyahoo regime. they are not even israeli citizens.
no way the jews can start a war against iran. they are broke due to gaza, due to hezbollah, due to iraqi meddling , due to houthis and the tourism trade dead in the water.
they don’t care. there slaves in usa will send money and weapons.
agreed, bibi was in the us to get the green light to start another war in the middle east. big mistake.
are you sure with that?
they want create situation where they can start the war – but usa is doing the fighting for them. and since they exchanged the iranian president – yes, because of that they can win. because of treason. if the leader of a country (i this case of iran) is a traitor, and is not uncovered and allowed to lead the country, then for sure this country is not going to win the war, regardless how strong its army is. sad, but it’s that simple.
classical jooz false flag. they are crazy if they think that they can go to war with hezbollah.

return the golan heights to syria as a un-resolution states and problems like this wouldn’t happen. but the jews are jews and anything they laid their hands on is theirs forever, thieves mentality and that applies to the jewry anywhere. the jews must go for good and their stolen goods beised to de-debt the row!
yes they (the diabolic hook-nosed deciples of satan) are bombing falestine civilians, syrian civilians, lebanese civilians, sometimes even their own people (for example the israeli hostages in gaza were killed by israeli bombardments too). but they scream foul if 1 of their scum-soldiers or their ass-raeli so-called”civilians” which nested themselves illegally on occupied syrian territory, gets killed. its so hypocrite so evil yes so jewish !!
they killed 100s of their own on october 7
according to russian golan heights is a disputed area (i’m not joking!) and not a syrian area. this was the russian discourse used directly after trump gave this area to israel.
there’s a un-resolution ordering the jews to return the golan heights to syria. which the jews have ignored like everything else they don’t like.
the jews always points finger but rarely provide any evidence. so anything from the jews can be ignored full stop. however the jews keep their heroin-transport smuggling operation going at all cost, from the east like afghanistan and the kurds to europe. wonder why the western intelligence services never say a word about it, never intercepts a mossad transport directly from kurdistan???
asking for evidence is antisemitism.
very much so !
could be a false flag by the zionist isreali genocidal maniacs. just saying.
obvious false flag.
40,000 palestinian women and children murdered with impunity now 12 zionists killed and it is a major cause for zionist escalation there is no justice only murder arrogance and greed in the zionist land grab
ich glaube an die zahl 40.000 nicht. nach meiner schätzung sind es min. 100.000 tote.
agree 100 per. cent.
the 100 per. cent comment should have been to redguard.
check your facts. how sure that they are zionists? the victims were golan druze but the zatanyahoo regime would have you believe they are jews.
why the hell would hezbollah attack a druze town?! this is quite obviously a false-flag by the zionist entity! they bombed the druze (the indigenous population of golan heights who they despise for not being jewish) and then blamed it on hezbollah! if hezbollah wanted to, they could easily have been blasting civilian centers for a while now but they always precisely hit military targets, why the hell would they attack a druze settlement now for no reason?!
confusion has also afflicted the zio-bbc. early this morning this incident was flagged by the bbc as an israeli attack which killed 11 gazan teenagers playing football and injured many more watching. this followed on from a zio attack on a school killing 30 that same day.
then a sudden change (and one more dead), the old article vanishes and the zios are no longer the aggressors.
all lies and propaganda in full view.
israeli false flag
funny to see the judenrats complain about ‘children were killed’ in the golan, forgetting the fact that their attacks have killed thousands of children in gaza and west bank.
traumatizing children with blood and gore and maiming them, which is tens of thousands more children, is only a few micron away from murdering them outright too. some might say that it is even worse than murder, and i am one of those people who think that torture can be far worse than murder. of course to a coward who has never experienced anything, what could be worse than dying?
israeli intelligence always baised on lies . but people of majdal shams knows zionist very weel its the zionist false flag attack on druze so they can turn druze against hezbollah. but druze people knows that hezbollah has niothing to do with this incident it was the intentional attack on druze by zionist for the loss they suffered y hezbollah.
end israel asap
russia… hello?… hello?… where are you???!!!
zionist cowards will never fight hezbollah. the cowardly scum killed the druze after the iron dud fell after failure.
the zionists are busy imbreeding….response will come on the fake berg media
hmmm, this smells like another jewish bullshit to me. false flag to blame hezbollah. the party does not target civilians. jews do.
you bet it was an errant israeli missile falling on the stadium. when the joos bark loudly like amerikans, its 100% cetrtain they are lying about something. in this case, the joos did it but blamed hezbollah. israel is a demonic experiment
errant—- really so? more likely unerring false flag.
uss liberty comes to mind.
hoorah, off go the trumptards to kill and die for the people who regularly murder us civilians and troops, and torture their children in the child rape networks ran by hollyfag joos and the bankers with fake money.
“this is an incident that we will not gloss over. there will be a severe response.”
said by whose killed over 16,000 cildren.
