IDF spokesman: Majdal Shams death toll risen to 12, Hezbollah used Iranian-made rocket

The death toll of the Hezbollah rocket attack on the Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams has risen to 12, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says in a press conference from the scene.

He identifies the rocket that struck a soccer field where children were playing as an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket.

“A Falaq-1 rocket struck here in the soccer field, it is an Iranian rocket, manufactured in Iran, a rocket with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives,” he says in a press conference.

“The forensic findings at the scene point to this rocket. Falaq-1 is only in use by the Hezbollah terror group, which carried out this attack from Chebaa,” Hagari says.

Hezbollah in an earlier statement said it fired one Falaq rocket at an Israeli army base just north of Majdal Shams, although it has denied attacking the town.
