Hezbollah Evacuating Key Terrorist Facilities Fearing Israeli Response To Missile Strike on Children’s Soccer Match

Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is evacuating its critical terrorist facilities anticipating an Israeli response after one of its rockets hit a soccer field in northern Israel, killing at least 12 children.
“The security sources said Hezbollah had preemptively cleared out some key sites in both Lebanon’s south and the eastern Bekaa Valley in the event of a possible attack by Israel,” the Jerusalem Post reported Sunday.
Israel identified the projectile that hit the children’s playground in Golan Heights as an Iranian-made missile. Israeli “forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1,” Reuters reported Sunday.
The terrorist group previously confirmed firing a Falaq-1 missile into Israel. “Hezbollah had announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had aimed at an Israeli military headquarters,” the news agency added.

At least 12 children were killed and others remain in critical condition after a Hezbollah rocket hit a soccer field in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams. The victims were children between the ages of 10 and 16. Saturday’s missile strike is the deadliest Hezbollah attack since Iran’s proxy terrorist group opened a second front against Israel in the wake of the October 7 massacre.
“Twelve children and teenagers were killed from a direct hit on a football field in Majdal Shams, a village located in the northern Golan Heights, with at least 30 more injured. Residents in the northern Golan and Upper Galilee have been instructed to stay close to protected areas,” the newspaper Israel Hayom reported Sunday. “Military sources estimate that a rocket landed on the football field where the children were present.”
On Sunday, thousands of Israelis, including government ministers, gathered in Majdal Shams for the funeral of the children killed in the rocket attack. “Family members collapsed in anguish and required medical attention,” Israel news website YNET reported.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short his U.S. visit following the terror strike. “State of Israel will not let this pass in silence. We will not overlook this,” Netanyahu promised in a statement.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will mete out a befitting reply to Hezbollah terrorists, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant assured. The Times of Israel reports:
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hezbollah will face the consequences of its deadly attack on Majdal Shams yesterday “even with its ridiculous denials.”
“I went to the Northern Command to see the response plans. This is Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy in the region. Hezbollah will not go unpunished for this incident, even with its ridiculous denials,” Gallant says in a video statement from the Northern Command base in Safed.
He says that Hezbollah launched the rocket, and “will bear the price and will pay a heavy price for its actions.”
The IDF is reportedly working on a “significant response” to the terror attack. Israel Hayom disclosed that “senior officials indicat[ed] that they are preparing for a significant response following the tragic event.”
“This attack shows the true face of Hezbollah—a terrorist organization that targets and murders children playing soccer on a Saturday evening.”

Israeli fight jets carried out nighttime raids, hitting Hezbollah targets across Lebanon. “Overnight, the IAF struck a series of Hezbollah terror targets both deep inside Lebanese territory and in southern Lebanon, including weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure in the areas of Chabriha, Borj El Chmali, and Beqaa, Kfarkela, Rab El Thalathine, Khiam, and Tayr Harfa,” the IDF said in a press release Sunday.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s paymaster, Iranian threatened Israel with “unforeseen consequences” if the country responded to the terrorist attack that killed of innocent children on a soccer field.

Apparently, some muslims are simply too stupid to learn the concept of FAFO.
When all you know is hate, nothing else matters.
Nothing will change uness israel changes the dynamics of the situation. In fact it will only get worse. Retaliation against Iran changes the situation, not the people of Iran but their military and economic infrastructure..
Seems to me that the US has a near-pathological dedication to the status quo. The US still can limit Israel’s response and that control is used to let Israel do just enough to get things back to a stalemate with no win or defeat. Very frustrating.
This battle is going to take years and can ultimately only be resolved by regime change in Iran or the collapse of Israel.
At what point will Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan be forced to choose sides? They cannot stay silent forever. It’s true that their ‘neutrality’ is a huge step forward, but that will ultimately no be enough… they will have to decide if the Iranians or the Israelis pose the biggest threat to their regimes.
Did you know Hezbollah has 15 members of Parliament and a partner in the governing coalition?
Time to stop pretending Lebanon isn’t part of this.
Evacuating terrorist facilities is pretty well an admission that Hezbollah is running terrorist facilities.
Iran is giving israel two choices:
(Option 1): We will drop rockets , bombs , drones on your soccer fields , cities, airfields whenever we want to.
Or, if you retaliate, or try to stop us, or deter us, or “punish” us, then you will have chosen the second option that we have offered you:
(Option 2): We will drop rockets , bombs , drones on your soccer fields , cities, airfields whenever we want to.
