At least 10 killed, dozens injured, in rocket attack in Druze town
Arutz Sheva ^ | 27/7/24 | Uzi Baruch

At least 34 people were injured - and nine of them killed - when a rocket hit a soccer field on Saturday afternoon in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in northern Israel.

The soccer field is located near a park, and among the injured and killed are children and teens, ages 10-20 years old.

Initial investigations by the IDF show that the aerial defense system had difficulty intercepting the rocket. The incident is under investigation.

Following the sirens in Majdal Shamas, the IDF reported: "A short while ago, sirens sounded in the area of Majdal Shams. One projectile was identified crossing from Lebanon toward the area. A hit was identified in the area. Injuries were reported. The IDF, in cooperation with the MDA, are at the scene, evacuating those injured."

"Following the sirens that sounded at 17:24 in the area of northern Israel, approximately 30 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted numerous projectiles and the rest fell in open areas. No injuries were reported."

The IDF later added: "The Chief of the General Staff...are currently conducting a situational assessment following the recent missile launches at Majdal Shams and other areas of northern Israel."

Hezbollah hates Druze, too. But they're neighbors of theirs in Lebanon, and kin to Israeli Druze, and the Lebanese Druze will be p!ssed. This does not bode well for Hezbollah.

Unfortunately, there are no Druze in Iran to exact vengeance. They’ll just have to kill a few Hezbollah.

Lately, Israel has responded to Hezbollah by taking out the area / launch sites of each rocket attack. Hopefully, this time, they will make a stronger statement.

Also, when Israel withdrew from Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah immediately started setting up rocket launchers RIGHT NEXT to the United Nations “Peacekeepers.” The Jew-hating UN did absolutely nothing.

When President Trump is back in the Oval Office, we should move the UN to....... Gaza. Set up a few tents and see who really wants to unify. No limousines, nothing fancy.

Isolate Hezbollah from Beirut. Bomb their missile chucking infrastructure into oblivion, generally in South Lebanon.

Death toll up to 12 now.

What I wonder about is, if these were Jews, it would barely be news. Since it’s Druze, does that make it a big thing on the MSM, or is it like, “Druze? Are they, like, Palestinians or something? Is Israel oppressing them, too? Are they Satan worshippers or something? Well, call me when Israel kills somebody. Never heard of Druze, so they don’t matter.”

I don’t watch much MSM, so have no notion how far their mental illness has progressed.
