A witness to the deadly rocket attack on the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams in which 12 children and teens were killed yesterday, says it goes beyond normal understanding of what constitutes a tragedy.
“We are taking 12 children to the cemetery in one day,” Zolan Abu Salah tells Army Radio.
“There is sadness, there is disaster, there is tragedy, and there is what happened to us yesterday,” he says.
The IDF has said that the rocket that struck the soccer field was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives.
