Israel has condemned the rocket attack from Lebanon on a village in the Golan Heights, calling it a crossing of 'red lines'. The Israeli government has announced a strong military response to the attack, in which at least twelve children were killed.
The Hezbollah militia, supported by Iran, denied any responsibility for the attack, while Iran threatened 'consequences' if Israel launched a new military 'adventure' in Lebanon. Israel's army spokesperson confirmed that an Iranian-made rocket was used in the attack and blamed Hezbollah for intentionally targeting civilians.
Israel's defense minister stated that they would strike back with full force, and Prime Minister Netanyahu cut short his visit to the US to return to Israel for a security cabinet meeting. Meanwhile, there have been reports of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon and the shooting down of a drone from Lebanon.
German politicians have called for de-escalation, condemning the attacks and supporting Israel's right to self-defense. The UK Prime Minister has also called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The situation has caused concerns in the region, with Turkey threatening to intervene and the US pledging support to Israel.
