If you read the headlines, one would think that it was Israel’s fault that Hezbollah launched rockets that killed twelve children today and injured over 30 others.

Here’s The Washington Post headline:

Attacks in Gaza and Israel kill more than 40, many of them children
An Israeli strike in Gaza killed at least 30 people. In northern Israel, a rocket attack the military blamed on Hezbollah left 11 people dead.

The Associated Press wasn’t much better. 

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A rocket strike Saturday at a soccer field killed at least 11 children and teens, Israeli authorities said, in the deadliest strike on an Israeli target along the country’s northern border since the fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah began. It raised fears of a broader regional war.

Israel blamed Hezbollah for the strike in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, but Hezbollah rushed to deny any role. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.”

The Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, called it the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that sparked the war in Gaza. He said 20 others were wounded.

What either report is very reluctant to admit is that those “people” killed were CHILDREN. The media is super worried about Israel’s response. This is now ten months of the media lecturing Israel for daring to fight back. How dare they get mad when Hezbollah launches rockets right at kids playing soccer?! 

The rocket hit Majdal Shams, a Druze minority town close to Lebanon and Syria. It was part of a barrage of about 40 projectiles that the Israeli military said were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Saturday afternoon. Hezbollah claimed a number of attacks on Israeli military targets Saturday.

Israel’s defense minister and most senior generals convened Saturday evening to assess the situation following the strike. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the premier was assessing the situation and was expediting his return to Israel from Washington.

Israel responded to a similar strike injuring civilians on a soccer field in the Druze town of Hurfeish in June by attacking military targets deep in Lebanon.

The media spin is illuminating when one realizes that Hezbollah gleefully took credit for the attacks until they realized that children were murdered.

Earlier today, Hezbollah eagerly claimed responsibility for the attacks on northern Israel.

That isn’t stopping the media from blaming Israel for what Hezbollah’s attack. 

Look at this word salad.

All because they don’t want to just plainly say Hezbollah killed children in Israel. https://t.co/F4MpYA7aIB

The Druze are Arab with a rich intriguing history, but have long been supporters of Israel. 

So you can understand if they along with Israel doesn’t give a rats behind about the political optics. 

The Biden administration is highly concerned that a rocket attack from Lebanon that killed 12 people in the Golan Heights could lead to an all out war between Israel and Hezbollah, U.S. officials tell Axios.

U.S. officials are also concerned that without a ceasefire in Gaza, a war between Israel and the Lebanese militant group is becoming more likely, which would exacerbate the regional crisis and draw the U.S. deeper into the conflict.

“What happened today could be the trigger we have been worried about and tried to avoid for 10 months,” a U.S. official told Axios.

That’s dripping with hypocrisy given Hamas has refused every single cease-fire proposal, and Hezbollah has been attacking Israel for ten months straight. But we also have the Biden Administration, as they’ve done for nearly a year now, ignoring WHO is doing the attacking and who is defending themselves. 

Their children were killed, by Iranian-backed Hezbollah. The same Iran that is funding Hamas and protests here in the U.S.. The media is whining about the 30 Hamas soldiers killed a few days ago. What they willfully leave out is that the actual target was a Hamas command and control center …INSIDE A SCHOOL. One that is run by UNWRA. 

But it’s Israel who is to blame for this latest attack? What a load of horseshit. Keep in mind, since October 8, Hezbollah has been shelling Israel repeatedly. To the tune of nearly 7,000 rockets in that ten-month period. 

But the media does what it’s done since October 7, 2023. Blame Israel for having the audacity to defend themselves. Everything that has happened in Gaza and now will happen to Hezbollah will be blamed on Israel. 

Here is video and images from Hezbollah rockets striking a children’s soccer field in a Druze town in northern Israel.

At least 5 dead. Dozens injured.

As always, the people celebrating this will soon be the loudest voices expressing outrage over the inevitable consequences. pic.twitter.com/478IS9DYdb

Meanwhile, as the Biden Administration dithers, Iran issued its own warning.

Hezbollah is to blame for this. Not Israel.
