At least 12 people, including children, were killed when multiple rockets hit a village in Israeli-controlled Golan Heights Saturday, Israeli officials said, in an attack that has raised fears of a major escalation in the long-running conflict.

From the photos on twitter, it looks like it hit the only soccer field in town, landing between the field and the playground next to it. Hezbollah first claimed the attack, but now that there are 10 kids dead, and another several dozen kids injured they’ve backpedaled on it.

    Sorry, kids. It looks like you were born in the wrong country to deserve any sympathy or basic human decency.

    What a monster.

      Do you say the same thing when bombs fall on Palestinian hospitals?? I’m not happy about this, but I’m not happy about killing another 50,000 innocent people to avenge them.

      That’s a straw man though. They didn’t say anything about the children. There’s children all over in the region being killed for no good reason. But people definitely don’t have a reason to have sympathy for the state of Israel on this as a whole.

      They were born in a place where they can go to bunkers and remain safe until their military can mow down the other place fully including the children who unfortunately don’t have the biggest military backing them up.
