EU foreign policy chief calls for independent probe into ‘shocking’ Majdal Shams strike

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell condemns the “bloodbath” in the  Golan Heights after a rocket fired by the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon hit a soccer pitch, killing at least 12 youngsters, and called for an independent probe.

“Shocking images from the soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams. I strongly condemn this bloodbath. We need an independent international investigation into this unacceptable incident. We urge all parties to exercise utmost restraint and avoid further escalation,” Borrell says in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
