A rocket attack on a football ground in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights has killed 12 people including children, Israeli authorities say.

Israel blamed Hezbollah for the strike and vowed to inflict a "heavy price" on the Iran-backed Lebanese group.

Hezbollah denied any responsibility for the strike, the deadliest in Israel or Israeli-annexed territory since the start of the conflict in Gaza.

The attack sharply escalated tensions in the hostilities which have been fought in parallel to the Gaza war and has raised fears of a full-blown conflict between the heavily armed adversaries.

    So where is the crater from the rocket strike that killed 12 people, why didn’t they show the damage. There’s a couple of mopeds laying on the floor and some mud, and how did the fence get ripped open, if there’s no crater then the blast was very small and couldn’t have generated a pressure wave that could blow over a steel fence . And where is the rocket debris and why are people walking all over the scene. Surely it’s a forensically sealed area while detailed investigations take place.
  • But where’s iron Dome??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
