2. Notes on this from a newsletter from Israel

HEZBOLLAH ROCKET ATTACK kills 10+ children, ages 10-20, critically and seriously injured: 34+ mostly children, in Majdal Shams - north Golan Druze city.

‼️HEZBOLLAH fired a drone (unknown if suicide or info gathering) at the Harish GAS RIG in the Med. IDF Navy intercepted.

🔹Hezbollah have evacuated their front line bases, assuming an incoming Israeli response.

🔹 ( Inject standard Israeli propaganda here. )) An Israeli source: Israel will reveal and use various weapons, which the world has not yet known. They are now preparing for a severe escalation, and for a response that will change the face of the war with Hezbollah.

🔹We’ve seen various reports on type of attack. Initially thought suicide drone. Then Fajir heavy rocket. Another report says Grad 122 - which is a smaller rocket but videos which caught the event seem to show a larger explosion.

🔹 Unconfirmed ) The head of the Druze community: "I give a 4-hour ultimatum to the state to respond or we remove responsibility and take control of the event!" (( Reminder: during the Syrian civil war when Druze towns were under attack in Syria, the Israeli Druze marched across the border to defend. ))

🔹POLITICS.. Several opposition politicians insulting the PM for not being in the country. Some commentary voices insulting the PM for not jumping on the national jet and heading right back, immediately. And a number demanding immediate strong action against Hezbollah, both opposition (Gantz) and coalition (Ben Gvir).

🔥WILDFIRES in the Golan due to today’s rocket attacks.
