Children were also injured in the incident, and the injuries are very serious. We do not know the source of the injury, but there are injuries caused by an explosive material. Many forces are heading to the field, in addition to Red Star of David helicopters and the Israeli army. The number of injured is preliminary and may be higher, and we are receiving live images from the scene. Some of the injured are children, and instructions have been given on how to stop bleeding in the field. This is the situation picture at present.

Trump, deluded by the fantasy of conquering Iran, launched one of the most idiotic wars in human history after being duped by Netanyahu. Now, after the U.S. fleet failed to reopen the Hormuz, he has resorted to smuggling. The U.S. military has never sunk to such a disgraceful low!
