At least 12 people, mostly children, were murdered in a terrorist attack Saturday afternoon in Israel after Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon, launched dozens of rockets at a soccer field.

The Islamic terrorist attack on Majdal Shams, a small village in the Golan Heights, also resulted in dozens of people being hurt.

The attack was the deadliest that Israel has experienced since Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group based in Gaza that is backed by Iran, launched an unprecedented attack on October 7 in which thousands of terrorists stormed into Israel and killed 1,200, wounded more than 5,000, took hundreds of people hostage, and unleashed a brutal campaign of rape and torture and women and children.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that an intelligence assessment found that Hezbollah launched the attack “from an area located north of the village of Chebaa in southern Lebanon.”

Hezbollah has terrorized Israel in the nearly 10 months since the October 7 attack, firing thousands of rockets, drones, and missiles at communities and military sites in the northern part of the country, which has resulted in numerous fatalities and hundreds of thousands of Israelis being displaced from their homes.

The situation between Israel and Hezbollah has been on the brink of escalating into a full-blown war for several months now, and the attack on Saturday might be the catalyst that sparks it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in the U.S. for the past few days and announced that he was cutting his trip short and returning home immediately following the attack, vowing that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.”

NASHVILLE — Former President Donald Trump spoke at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville on Saturday and promised to make the U.S. the cryptocurrency superpower of the world.

Crowds of people lined the streets of Tennessee’s capital to greet the president’s motorcade while more people waited in line inside the Music City Center to listen to the former president’s speech.

“This afternoon, I’m laying out my plans to ensure that the United States will be the crypto capital of the planet,” he said, adding that “Bitcoin stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government.”

Trump also blasted Democrats’ unfair “targeting” of cryptocurrency and promised to fire Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler “on day one.” Gensler has been critical of Bitcoin, saying the cryptocurrency is “rife with fraud” and has pushed to police cryptocurrency more heavily.

Trump further promised to appoint a Bitcoin and crypto advisory council on the first day of his new term.

The Bitcoin 2024 Conference attracted an estimated 20,000 people over the weekend, which included many Trump supporters along with some backers of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy spoke at the conference on Friday.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee, was also reportedly in talks to speak at the conference, but she did not. The Harris campaign has reportedly reached out to billionaire Mark Cuban with questions about cryptocurrency as she gears up her presidential campaign.

“I’m getting multiple questions from her camp about crypto,” Cuban said. “So I take that as a good sign.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, among other political figures, also spoke at the conference.

Multiple Bitcoin enthusiasts at the conference told The Daily Wire that they were excited to hear Trump’s speech and hope he will push to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin if he’s elected president.

Saturday’s speech featured Trump’s strongest statements in support of cryptocurrency. Earlier this year, his campaign started accepting donations in cryptocurrency.
