New footage circulated on social media shows the moment a Hezbollah rocket struck a soccer field in the Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams on Saturday, killing 12 children.
One video appears to have been taken by a child at an adjacent playground as sirens sound, while the second video is taken from a surveillance camera.
Hezbollah said that it launched a Falaq rocket at an IDF base near Majdal Shams, although once reports emerged of civilian casualties in the town, the terror group denied its involvement.
The IDF said the shrapnel at the scene matched an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket, which is used in Lebanon exclusively by Hezbollah.
