At least 11 people have been injured after projectiles were reportedly fired from Lebanon into Majdal Shams, Golan Heights, on Saturday, according to Israel.
From the photos on twitter, it looks like it hit the only soccer field in town, landing between the field and the playground next to it. Hezbollah first claimed the attack, but now that there are 10 kids dead, and another several dozen kids injured they've backpedaled on it.
UPDATE: 10 dead, 6 in critical, 3 moderate, 4 light, and several dozen unadmitted injured people

Terrible. They have been raining down rockets in Israel since Oct. 8 and no one talks about it. There are 200,000 internally displaced Israelis and sometimes it feels like no one cares.
Both the escalation on the southern Lebanon border and the resulting displacement have received a lot of media coverage. Hezbollah has kept saying that this is to keep IDF from being all focused on Gaza and that they would stop if a ceasefire is reached. Until about three month ago both Israel and Hezbollah have been trying to keep the level of escalation low.
This has changes as Israel attacked Beirut and threatened to turn it into "another Gaza" and boasting about how they could destroy all of Lebanon. Netanyahus government has aimed to escalate the war there, to draw in the US and other western allies.
Now whether we will see the full escalation now remains to be seen. Hezbollah is a whole different league compared to Hamas in terms of weapons and fighters.
What Beirut attack? I didn't hear about that.
i'm sorry. The attack on Beirut already happened in January. https://apnews.com/article/lebanon-beirut-explosion-suburbs-hezbollah-israel-2a43fe948e8cb49c64b34bb963d77f64
I must have mixed it up with the attack on Damascus in April.
The threat of turning Leba non into another Gaza also was from that time https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-s-netanyahu-threatens-to-turn-northern-lebanon-into-gaza-amid-escalation-with-hezbollah-/3103473
Since then the rethoric has picked up significantly over the past months, and again with extensive international coverage of a potential escalation into Lebanon.
Hardly an "attack on Beirut." According to this it was an attack on a Hamas commander near Beirut.
I guess that really makes it better for the civilians that got murdered in that attack.
That's terrible but have you thought that the policies of your own state could be the root cause of it?
How dare they exist!
What? The policies?
Nah, the resistance. It is anti-semitic to resist Israel's egregious policies.
