The serene tranquility of Majal Shams, a town bordering the occupied Golan Heights, was shattered on a fateful Saturday as a rocket attack left 12 young lives lost and a community in shock. In a world already marred by conflict, this tragedy raises profound questions about the escalating tensions in the region.
The unexpected flash of light and the subsequent thunderous boom sent shockwaves through the small village of Majal Shams. A video posted on social media captures the chilling moment a rocket tears through the sky, colliding with a football pitch in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The tragic strike, which took place on a Saturday, left around a dozen people dead, including innocent children. Israeli authorities have labeled it the deadliest attack on Israeli or Israeli-annexed territory since the conflict in Gaza began.
