Who's rocket was it? I don't believe a word coming out of the Zionist regime.

Imagine how the Druze feel. Annexed by a country they don't want to be a part of, now suffering and being killed in conflict due to the various discretions of their overlords.

If Hezbollah say they didn't fire the rockets, maybe they didn't. Could it have been a rogue Israeli unit keen on sparking a wider war against Hezbollah? Not an unprecedented scenario.

Netanyahu has lost the plot and is a killer, so I can't see him backing out of sending this into full war, and so the conflict begins to spread wider in the region. But fighting Hezbollah is different from using the Israeli army to kill Women, kids and old people in Gaza, which they currently specialise in.

The bomb crater seemed too small to have been caused by a Hezbollah rocket.

Israel quick to show debris identifying the "object " as Iranian made. Too quick, too clever. Beheaded babies claims comes to mind.

Another explanation is the "bomb " was debris from the Iron Done " defensive missile system Israel employs.

And Israel cares zero about the deaths of children

Look at the Gaza death toll.

Netanyahu crying crocodile tears just another act.

OK...try Hezbollah front on...Israel cant defeat Hamas, so they have no chance of defeating Hezbollah.

But a good chance to face Turkey in a state versus state war if Israel invades Lebanon.

Why is it the children who always suffer in war - innocent children who don't know or understand the politics and hate that permeates all sides?

Why can't the parties kill each other instead of killing their children?

With both sides doing this, can we clearly say one is more evil than the other?

Hezbollah would not strike the Druze.

Isn't this loser out of ammo yet? Oh wait, we're giving him more :/

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday vowed heavy retaliation against Hezbollah amid furious diplomatic efforts to prevent a spiral into regional war following a weekend rocket strike that killed 12 children in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

Among the 40000 killed by Israel armed forces in this Gaza genocide, 70% were innocent women and children..

Stop the genocide and the Hypocrisy..

Perpetual war, it’s the modern way guys.

""Nearby, around 300 friends, supporters and relatives of the slain children protested against Netanyahu’s visit, shouting that he was exploiting the bloodshed for political gain and calling for an end to the violence. Some held up pictures of the children, saying they wanted no more deaths.

After Netanyahu left, some rushed onto the soccer field and tore down the wreath. Weeping relatives held up toys left by the children on the field.

The Druze of the Golan Heights have long had a fraught relationship with Israel since it captured the territory from Syria in the 1967 war and later annexed it. Some Druze have Israeli citizenship, and ties with Israeli society have grown over the years. But many still have sympathies for Syria and have rejected Israeli annexation.""

Fair and honest reporting, Well done.

These are ARABS with Syrian Citizenship prior to Israel occupying their land. they are disgusted by Bibi's visit to their town and wont nothing to do with him.

“These children are our children, they are the children of all of us,” he said as officials laid a wreath on the field.

Nearby, around 300 friends, supporters and relatives of the slain children protested against Netanyahu’s visit, shouting that he was exploiting the bloodshed for political gain and calling for an end to the violence.

Netanyahu is truly shameless. Saying "These children are our children" to a group of people the Israeli government have been attempting to ethnically cleanse from the region for decades through displacement, "settlement" building and illegal annexation of the territory.

To be clear the Druze killed are Syrian citizens who rejected Israeli citizenship in 1981 when Israel tried to make its annexation permanent by extending Israeli civil law to the illegally occupied territory.

Israel continues to expand Israeli settlements with the express purpose of trying to outnumber the native inhabitants with its own Jewish colonists.

Several eyewitness stated that the "Rocket" was a failed Israeli anti missile rocked, Hezbollah gains NOTHING by firing a rocket at Arabs especially Children and from Syria, we all know who is killing Arb children 17,000 of them and counting.

This is a setup and a pretext by Bibi and his war mongers to attack Hezbollah, plain and simple.

Hezbollah gains NOTHING by firing a rocket at Arabs especially Children and from Syria, we all know who is killing Arb children 17,000 of them and counting.

Exactly, it doesn't add up at all and Israel trying to spin that Hezbollah would try and fire a rocket at a group of 11 year old Arab kids playing soccer is a joke. More shame on Israel.

Indeed Woody....I've just seen video of Medical Workers saying it was debris from an iron dome mis fired missile, that this occurs on many occasions.

And, when Israeli parliament people arrived at the scene , the crowd screamed at them to leave , calling them "sons of whores ".

Looks like another Israeli lie has died a quick death.

Bibi could kill or sacrifice Jewish Children for the operation and his Pretext, killing ARAB children was much easier for him since he's been doing it for the past 10 month.

How disgusting, the world can see it as clear as it gets, Shame on you man

More war crimes by these Islamic extremist terrorists.

Killing 12 children playing outside!

Disgusting.

Israel is slaughtering a children's football team everyday in Gaza but that seems to be ok for western Govts...

Very suspicious and beneficial for Netanyahu and his team of war criminals! Especially in light of the fact these kids weren't Jewish do you really think Netanyahu et al would care? Just using it as an excuse to save his own skin! Even worse if as is most likely it was a false flag operation by the genocidal maniacs in Israel!

Thorough analysis via X thread for those of you who are sincerely interested in facts:

The bomb crater seemed too small to have been caused by a Hezbollah rocket.

The Faluq I rocket only has a 50 kg warhead. That doesn't leave a huge crater. it kills by the fragments released in the detonation.

"Netanyahu vows retaliation against Hezbollah after weekend strike as U.S. warns against escalation."

If there is no feasible peaceful solution, Benjamin! They started it then you end it!!!

Desert ...people on the scene saying it was a fragment from the Israel iron dome missiles.

I wasnt there, nor were you...I'll go with the Druze witnesses over the IDF.

And again, that does seem a small crater for a 50kg bomb.

Netanyahu would have already invaded Lebanon if he thought the IDF would make easy work of it.

Someone with sense in the IDF must be telling him the real facts.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

Netanyahu insists that Hezbollah is responsible. When he, accompanied by the head of his brutally oppressive 'security forces' and heavily armed escorts showed up at the site, the community and families of those killed insisted that it was Netanyahu who was responsible and that his presence dishonored the dead.

2 ( +3 / -1 )

The grave error Netanyahu makes is that he may think that he can eradicate the Hamas by bombarding schools and hospitals without knowing it will only engender hatred against Israel in the young mind in Palestini. He is only sowing the seeds of evil.

 

The tit for tat strategy will never make the two warring sides come to a ceasefire and realize world peace.
