On July 27, 2024, a rocket struck a football pitch in Majdal Shams, a predominantly Druze town in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The blast claimed the lives of 12 children and teenagers from the Druze community, and injured at least 42 other people. While the Israeli military and Hezbollah blame each other for the attack, the families of the victims are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their children, whose lives have been cut so brutally and tragically short.
