The Spin

The barbaric attack on innocent Israeli youth on a soccer field on Saturday will not go unpunished. Despite its ludicrous claims, Iran's proxy in the region, Hezbollah, is plainly responsible. They fired the rocket, and they will face the full consequences of their actions. There is a big price to pay.

Unlike Israel, Hezbollah does not target civilians. Hezbollah only hits Israeli military targets in the occupied Golan Heights. What struck the football pitch on Saturday was most likely an Israeli anti-rocket interceptor projectile. Clearly, Israel is trying to deflect attention from the over 39K Palestinians murdered in the Gaza Strip.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 5% chance Israel will lose control over the Golan heights before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
