Death toll of Majdal Shams attack rises to 10

At least 10 people have been killed, and more than a dozen wounded, in an attack from Lebanon on a football pitch in the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.

The Israeli media is reporting that the majority of casualties are children, accusing the Lebanese Hezbollah of bearing the responsibility behind the incident.

Hezbollah officials have told Reuters their group is not involved in the attack.

In a statement following Hezbollah’s denial of carrying out the attack on Majdal Shams, the Israeli army said that “the rocket fire at Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terror group.”
