The attack on a soccer field in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights was the deadliest on Israeli civilians since October 7.
Israeli ministers were met with jeers and heckles at the funerals of 12 children killed in a suspected Hezbollah rocket attack.
On Sunday, thousands of mourners who were at the funeral in northern Israel’s Majdal Shams condemned the arrival of government ministers, whom they had told to stay away. Photos of the children and teens killed in a rocket strike at a soccer field, are displayed at a roundabout as people light candles in their memories, at the village of Majdal Shams.Some shouted at Smotrich, an advocate for war with Lebanon, “leave here”, while also hurling profanities at him.
Professor Salman Zarka, director of Ziv Medical Centre in Safed, told Channel 12 that 30 injured children arrived in the immediate aftermath of the attack, 15 of whom were still in hospital as of Sunday evening. “I heard the explosion, everything shook. I stepped outside the supermarket where I was and saw in front of me the horrors. Screaming, crying, people running. An image that will remain with my soul for a lifetime.
Yasser Gadban, chairman of the Forum of Druze and Circassian Authorities, had written to the government saying: “We ask all government representatives, ministers and senior officers, do not come. Due to the sensitivity of the situation, we ask that you not turn a massacre event into a political event. We are requesting a quiet, religious funeral in accordance with Druze custom.”
