Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the Druze town of Majdal Shams today (Monday) to offer his condolences for the children killed in the Hezbollah missile attack last Saturday.

Netanyahu said that "This is a terrible tragedy. Like all citizens of Israel, and I must tell you, like many people across the entire world, we were profoundly shocked by this terrible killing.

"Here, Hezbollah, with Iranian backing, fired an Iranian missile that cut short the lives of 12 pure souls, 12 boys and girls who were playing soccer here and who, unfortunately, did not manage to reach shelter. The heart breaks at the terrible tragedy. We embrace the families that are now enduring indescribable suffering."

Netanyahu also said that "The State of Israel will not, and cannot, ignore this. Our response will come and it will be severe."
