Six killed, over 30 wounded by Hezbollah attack: IDF wants to know why rocket wasn't destroyed

At least six people were killed and over 30 were injured in a Hezbollah rocket attack on Majdal Shams in the northern Golan Heights this evening. The death toll is expected to increase since at least three of the wounded are in critical condition.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) believe that the rocket which hit the soccer field, where children were playing, was particularly heavy. The military is currently investigating why they were unable to intercept the projectile.

Senior IDF officials are holding urgent meetings to evaluate the situation. This attack is the deadliest by Hezbollah amid the ongoing clashes on the northern border. They will decide on an appropriate response against the militant group.

Am Yisrael Chai.
