About 150 children were scheduled to travel to the UAE via Israel for treatment on Monday, but Netanyahu decided to postpone the children’s departure from Gaza after the Magdal Shams attack, Israeli state television reported.
The report did not provide any information on how Netanyahu’s decision was related to the Magdalene attack or whether a new date had been set for the children to leave Gaza.
There was no statement from the UAE on the issue.
Magdala Shams attack
It was announced that 12 people, including children, lost their lives and 35 people were injured, 17 of them seriously, as a result of a rocket hitting a football field in the town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, which is under Israeli occupation.
The Israeli army said that the rocket was fired from the north of the town of Sheba in southern Lebanon “based on their intelligence and their assessment” and that Lebanese Hezbollah was responsible.
Lebanese Hezbollah denied the allegations that the attack in Majdal Shams was carried out by them, stating that they “had no connection to the incident.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also made a statement regarding the attack, saying, “Israel will not write this deadly attack off. Hezbollah will pay a heavy price that it has never paid before.”
