STORYLINE:
The Druze community of Majdal Shams, a town in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, were reeling Monday after a rocket attack from Lebanon over the weekend that killed 12 of the town’s children and teenagers.
Ayman Fakhr al-Din, the father of Alma Ayman, a 11 year old girl who kas killed in the attack, said his daughter was a gifted child full of energy. The grieving parents and sibling of Alma were visited by members of their community paying their respects.
"I ran from almost 400 meters to the place of the hit, I saw something that I’ve never seen before in my life", Ayman said.
Israel has blamed Hezbollah for Saturday evening’s rocket from Lebanon that slammed into a soccer field where the children were playing in the mainly Druze town of Majdal Shams.
In an unusual move, Hezbollah denied any role in the strike.
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.
