Tensions rise in the region: Israeli Minister makes ‘war’ statement

Following the attack on Majdal Shams in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz made a strong statement. Katz said, “Hezbollah’s attack today crossed all red lines and there will be an appropriate response. We are approaching the moment of all-out war against Hezbollah and Lebanon.”

Netanyahu brings forward US return

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is holding talks in the US, has brought forward his return to Israel from the US. It was reported that Netanyahu gave instructions for his plane to depart at the earliest possible hour. A source close to Netanyahu stated that the plane will depart from the US capital Washington DC at 01:00 GMT.

Hezbollah denies attack

Hezbollah made a statement after the attack, saying that they did not launch a rocket attack on Majdal Shams and that they had no connection with the attack.

Hezbollah had previously announced that it had fired dozens of rockets at an Israeli base in the Golan Heights.

On the other hand, 10 Israelis between the ages of 10 and 20 were killed and at least 12 others were injured when a rocket hit a football field in the attack on Majdal Shams.
