Who are the Druze people? And how have they been affected by the heinous rocket attack which killed 12 innocent children?

Israel Daily News host Shanna Fuld joins a large group of foreign journalists in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams to witness the destruction and speak to community members about the aftermath of the Saturday July 27th’s Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 12 innocent children playing in a soccer field. Hear why those children didn’t make it to safety and listen to first hand accounts from members of the Druze community, Majdal Shams Mayor Dolan Abu Saleh, a family who lost four of their cousins, and a respected community elder who sends us off with a hopeful message of peace and unity. Most of the remarks will be translated or summarized.
