In the first terrible images from the site, parents can be seen rushing to the scene in a desperate search for their children. Warning: images easily found on the internet may offend sensitivity.
Yesterday, the entire community of Majdal Shams and beyond gathered to attend the funerals of the 12 innocent young people killed by the fury of Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist organization created in 1982 by the Iranian regime.
For over 40 years, Iran has funded, supplied weapons and trained Hezbollah militias operating on the border between Lebanon and Israel with one goal: to destabilize the region, target as many innocent people as possible and destroy the State of Israel.
Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah has launched thousands of rockets into northern Israel, killing dozens of people and forcing more than 100,000 residents to leave their homes and move to other parts of Israel, without knowing when they will be able to return home.
Saturday's episode is just the latest in a series of tragic events caused by terrorists operating in Lebanon on behalf of the Iranian regime.
Today, our prayers are with the families of those children and young people whose lives were cut short too soon and in the worst possible way.
