There is no proof that Lebanese Hezbollah was responsible for the Magdal Shams incident you are referring to, and all of the facts suggest that it was an accident. It happened during what was virtually a firefight.

The Magdal Shams is a village in the Golan heights, which is a Syrian area that is illegally occupied by Israel. At the very least, it is a huge leap of faith to assume that the families of the victims condemn Hezbollah or Israel or who they think is responsible.

Whatever your beliefs are, I suggest not jumping to conclusions so quickly, especially on such a complicated topic

My friend, I suggest adopting a less juvenile attitude. As I stated previously, there is no proof of where the bomb came from, and the victims may have had allegiance towards the faction that you consider the "bad guys."

There is no proof that Israel initiated the Pager attacks either.

There is no other nation that has the motive, nor the capability. It could only have been Mossad.

It seems like you're feigning naiveté, here.

Misdirected attacks happen all the time in warfare, and tragically there's nothing in the slightest bit surprising about it. The circumstances around the Majdal Shams attack are still unclear, but it's highly unlikely that Hezbollah would deliberately target a soccer field in the middle of a Druze community in Israel-occupied territory. Most likely it was affected by EW or simply went off course.

So yes, "accidentally blew up a soccer field".
