Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visits bereaved families in the northern Druze village of Majdal Shams, after a Hezbollah rocket attack on Saturday killed 12 children on a soccer field.
“To me, there’s no difference between a Jewish child who was murdered in the south of Israel on October 7 and a Druze child who was murdered in the Golan Heights. It’s the same thing, these are our children,” Gallant tells the mourners.
“We will do everything to restore security and let life continue as it should. Hezbollah will pay a price for this – our actions will speak volumes,” he adds.
The security cabinet last night authorized Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to decide on the “manner and timing” of Israel’s response to the deadly strike.
