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.

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

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."

MDA paramedics Orly Ben Simon and Omri Hochman reported: "When we arrived in the town, we were directed to 3 local clinics where the injured were being sent. We assisted the medical teams, stabilized the patients, and transported the injured to hospitals and helicopters that landed nearby."

An Israeli counterstrike will ensue shortly. This might be the event that will cause a ground invasion of Lebanon by the IDF. They are still wrapping up Gaza, but have prepared for a two front war.

An Israeli counterstrike will ensue shortly.


Which will be labeled an ‘escalation’ by the media and governments hostile to Israel. Israel is expected to show restraint when kids playing soccer are murdered by the brave rocketeers of Hezbollah.

“The Biden Administration is concerned that the Hezbollah Rocket Attack earlier on a Youth Soccer Match in the Town of Majdal Shams, could be the Spark which leads to an All-Out War against Hezbollah; with a Senior U.S. Official telling Axios, “What happened today could be the Trigger we have been worried about and tried to avoid for 10 Months.””

From Israel Breaking News. Is Hezbollah testing the ‘New Harris Regime’?

Why is America involved in negotiations? Do they feel like they are owed management of the Israel-Hamas War because they sold munitions to Israel? Considering Biden’s past results, what do the Biden Regime Negotiators bring to the Hostage talks? Israel is never going to win approval in an antisemitic world. They must finish this war soon.

Druze are a very intriguing religious sect. They were were not to be messed with during civil war in Lebanon.

Druze are not often mentioned today.

11 months after Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat was assassinated, the President elect Bachir Gemayel in Lebanon was assassinated. He was the leader of the Phalanges Christian Militia in Lebanon.

And Walid Jumblatt was a Druze commander in that era in Lebanon.

It was and is a very dangerous block of the world to live on.
