Rocket strike kills 10 in Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights
A rocket strike has killed at least 10 people in Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, prompting the Israeli regime to blame Hezbollah for the attack, despite the Lebanese resistance group’s strong denial of any role in the incident.
At least a dozen others were also wounded in the Saturday strike that reportedly hit a playground in the village of Majdal Shams in the territory.
No person or group has claimed responsibility for the strike so far.
In a written statement, Hezbollah said, “The Islamic Resistance has absolutely nothing to do with the incident, and categorically denies all false allegations in this regard.”
Some reports, meanwhile, said the explosion might have been caused by a stray projectile fired by the regime’s Iron Dome missile system.
The regime, however, insisted on blaming the resistance movement for the incident.
“The Hezbollah attack today crossed all red lines, and the response will be accordingly. We are approaching the moment of an all-out war against Hezbollah and Lebanon,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari also said the regime “will prepare a response” against Hezbollah.
This is not the first time, when the regime threatens to bring Lebanon under another wholesale military onslaught.
Earlier this month, Lebanon’s caretaker Foreign Minister Abdullah Bou Habib said, “We have heard dozens of statements issued by senior Israeli officials threatening to burn Lebanon, destroy it, and return it to the Stone Age.”
The regime has also been staging regular attacks against the country’s southern areas since October 7, when it began waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The attacks have featured repeated deployment of white phosphorous bombs, which are known for their disastrous and long-lasting environmental effects, against civilian targets and densely-populated areas.
The Israeli regime targets southern Lebanon with white phosphorous bombs, which are known for their incendiary and long-term environmental effects.
Hezbollah has been retaliating with rocket strikes against military targets lying across the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The movement has also pledged to defend the country with all its resources in the event of another Israeli war.
Hezbollah addresses a fresh warning to the Israeli regime against its potential invasion of the country.
Hezbollah fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the occupation’s military on both occasions.
