Israeli authorities announced today that a football field in the occupied Golan Heights was hit by a rocket attack, resulting in the deaths of 12 people. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has denied involvement in the attack, while Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned that a "full-scale war" with Lebanon and Hezbollah is imminent.
According to a Reuters report, the Israeli military has announced preparations to respond to this attack. This incident marks the deadliest attack on Israeli territory or its occupied lands since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict.
The Israeli ambulance service reported that a rocket fired from Lebanon struck a football field in the Druze village of Majdal Shams, killing 10 people, including several children, and injuring 13 others.
