Families of Victims File Lawsuit Against Hezbollah for Rocket Attack
Families of victims from a Hezbollah rocket attack in July 2024 have filed a lawsuit in the Jerusalem District Court, seeking NIS 80 million in compensation. The attack, which targeted the town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, resulted in the deaths of 12 children and injuries to dozens more. The lawsuit, filed by eight families from the predominantly Druze town, aims to hold Hezbollah accountable for the deliberate targeting of civilians. The legal action is supported by Shurat HaDin, an Israeli legal organization, and is based on a law passed by the Knesset to compensate terror victims. Additionally, another lawsuit has been filed on behalf of 30 locals injured in the attack, seeking NIS 165 million in damages. The rocket, reportedly of Iranian origin, was launched from Shebaa and directly targeted a soccer field where children were playing.
