A Hezbollah rocket attack on a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in northern Israel has resulted in a mass casualty event. The attack, which occurred during a children's soccer match, has left at least 11 people dead, including children and teenagers aged 10 to 20, and many others injured. Initial reports indicate that 5 are in critical condition and 6 are seriously injured. The IDF has confirmed Hezbollah's responsibility for the attack, which involved approximately 40 projectiles fired towards northern Israel, including a Falaq-1 rocket. In response, the IDF has begun striking Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. The attack has sparked outrage and condemnation, with calls for justice and retaliation. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is cutting short his US trip to address the situation.
