Twelve children and teens were killed when a rocket hit a soccer field in the northern Druze town yesterday afternoon. The IDF has said that the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives.
Residents and first responders described scenes of bloody carnage on the soccer field. Though a warning siren had sounded, it was too short an alert for the victims, who were unable to flee in time.
The attack was the single deadliest Hezbollah attack since the terror group began attacking northern Israel on October 8.
