A rocket has hit a sports complex filled with children playing soccer in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights region Saturday afternoon, on the same day that an Israeli strike in Gaza devastated a school building and killed dozens.

The school was located in the central Gazan city of Deir al-Balah, where many Palestinians have fled following evacuation orders the Israeli military has issued for regions farther south in Gaza. The Israeli military said its intelligence indicated that Hamas had been using the school compound as a hiding place for assaults on Israeli units. Numerous steps had been taken, the Israeli military said, to"mitigate the risk of harming civilians."
Israel says Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese militia, launched around 40 rockets from southern Lebanon toward northern Israel Saturday, with the most of them intercepted and shot down. The rocket landed in the city of Majdal Shams, in the disputed Golan Heights that Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 war and claims as its own.
