Rocket attack on the Golan Heights raises fears of a 'widespread fire'

A rocket attack on the Golan Heights kills 12 young Druze, resulting in Israel accusing Hezbollah and launching strikes on Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cuts short his US trip to discuss a potential escalation.

The UN warns of the possibility of a wider conflagration due to ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The Golan Heights, captured by Israel in 1967, is home to 20,000 Druse Arabs, some of whom reject Israeli citizenship.

The rocket attack is condemned by global leaders, including the US and France, who are working to prevent further escalation. The Biden administration blames Hezbollah for the attack and vows diplomatic action.

In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes kill dozens of people, including children, resulting in calls for a ceasefire. The UN reports dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

Turkey's President Erdogan threatens Israel with military intervention, while Israel warns of the consequences. The rocket used in the attack is traced back to an Iranian group, raising concerns about regional dynamics.

The situation remains tense, with fears of a potential wider conflict.
