On Saturday, Israel experienced the worst attack on its soil since the Hamas invasion on October 7th, which left 1,200 people dead and 240 others kidnapped by the terrorists.
The New York Post reported that at least 11 people, primarily children and very young adults, were slaughtered when a Hezbollah rocket hit a soccer field in Israel-controlled Golan Heights.
Israeli officials confirmed that the attack by Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, targeted the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams.
In addition to the 11 killed, 40 morewere reported injured in the attack, with some listed in critical condition.
The Post reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now racing back to Israel from Washington, DC. Netanyahu was still in the nation’s capital on Saturday after addressing Congress Wednesday and meeting with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz said he discussed the cowardly terror strike with Netanyahu. He also declared that “Hezbollah crossed all red lines” and Israel was now “facing an all-out war” with the terror group.
Katz then warned Hezbollah would pay a high toll for its actions and was confident Israel would have the full support of the United States and Europe when they decided to ultimately retaliate.
Given Hezbollah’s close ties with Iran, this attack raises the possibility of an eventual all-out war between Iran and Israel. This possibility dramatically increases should Democrats seize another four years in the White House with Kamala Harris as the new regime leader.
