Israel Threatens Hezbollah with War After Deadly Rocket Attack

Israel has threatened Hezbollah with war after a rocket strike on the Golan Heights killed at least 10 children and adolescents. The attack occurred in the village of Majdal Shams, which has a predominantly Druze population.

Israel blames Hezbollah for the attack, while the group denies responsibility. The Israeli Foreign Minister has warned of an all-out war, and Prime Minister Netanyahu is returning to Israel from the US.

The Golan Heights, which are annexed by Israel but not internationally recognized, are strategically important for Israel. The rocket used in the attack was an Iranian-made Falaq 1 missile.

Iran has warned Israel against further escalation. The UN and EU have called for restraint, and the US has expressed support for efforts to end the attacks.

While tensions are high, neither Israel nor Hezbollah wants an all-out conflict due to the risk of mass displacement and fatigue. However, concerns remain about the possibility of a regional war.
