In a statement following Hezbollah’s denial of carrying out the deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams, the IDF says that “following assessments carried out in the IDF and the intelligence available to us, the rocket fire at Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terror group.”
“Hezbollah is behind the launch of the rocket that hit the soccer field in Majdal Shams and caused many civilian casualties, including children, earlier this evening,” the military adds.
