Exhibition match with Israeli soccer legends honors 12 Druze youth killed in Hezbollah strike

Some of Israel's legendary national football team players will participate in an exhibition match on Monday in Shefayim – in memory of the 12 youth killed just over a year ago in a Hezbollah rocket attack on a soccer pitch in the Druze town of Majdal Shams. Families of the killed and injured youth will join the match, which is among the special activities planned for the day at the initiative of the Israel Football Federation and the Shurat HaDin Law Center. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, president of Shurat HaDin, told KAN reporter Naomi Segal that the organization is also representing the affected families in a lawsuit it plans to file against Hezbollah in coming weeks.
