On July 27, an Iranian-made missile launched from Lebanon hit a children's soccer field in Israel's remote Druze village, Majdal Shams. Twelve children were killed, and dozens more were injured.

Israel vowed to respond to the deadliest flashpoint in the war since 10/7 while fears of a direct conflict between Israel and Iran grow. Following the Majdal Shams attack, Israel assassinated Hezbollah's top commander, Fuad Shukr, and Hamas's political bureau chairman, Ismail Haniyeh.

Providence Magazine's Marc LiVecche joins Dominique in this week's episode of The Philos Project Podcast. Marc breaks down the strategic implications of Israel's targeted killings and the necessity for justice and deterrence in Israel's war aim of destroying and delegitimizing Hamas.

But how should Christians morally consider the death of the wicked? Marc walks the listener through a Just War framework to think about justice and mercy during war.
