From the photos on twitter, it looks like it hit the only soccer field in town, landing between the field and the playground next to it. Hezbollah first claimed the attack, but now that there are 10 kids dead, and another several dozen kids injured they’ve backpedaled on it.

    Druze serve in the IDF.

    Edit: Although it’s true that Druze in the Golan are different than the rest of the Druze in Israel, in that some of them don’t serve.

    Either way: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/nine-people-killed-rocket-hits-football-pitch-israeli-occupied-golan-israel-2024-07-27/

    Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.

    Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.

      It hit an area where people do not serve in the IDF.

      Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.

      Daniel Hagari is the man that has lied about everything in Gaza for months. If it was an Iranian missile I expect to see proof.

          Haaretz articles are hit or mis. This article is a massive miss. 4 paragraphs in and I’m still wading through the Israeli propaganda before clicking the red cross button.
