The Israeli military blamed Hezbollah for a rocket strike which killed at least 11 people on a soccer pitch in northern Israel on Saturday evening, sparking vehement denials from the Lebanese militant group as fallout from the incident tipped the two sides closer to all-out war.
The Israel Defense Forces said that at least 20 other people were wounded in the blast in Majdal Shams, a majority Druze community in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Many of the casualties were children.
In a statement from the country’s ambulance service, a senior paramedic said that his team had witnessed “gruesome” scenes on the grass. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was conducting a situational assessment with the military, his office said.
“We will prepare for a response against Hezbollah,” IDF spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said in a briefing. “We will finish our assessments and we will act.”
In a swiftly issued statement, Hezbollah denied any connection to the attack, saying it “categorically denies all false claims in this regard.”
The strike drew sharp condemnations from Israeli officials, amid fears it would accelerate the now-daily exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah into a full-blown conflict. Warnings of such an eruption — caused by precisely the kind of high casualty incident that occurred Saturday — have grown urgent in recent months, as fighting along the Lebanese-Israeli border has intensified.
“For more than nine months, Hezbollah has been attacking our citizens in the north, firing thousands of rockets and missiles and UAVs … targeting families, homes and communities,” Hagari said.

Hezbollah began strikes against Israel soon after the Hamas-led attack on Israeli communities on Oct. 7. During the conflict, Palestinian factions, including Hamas, have occasionally claimed attacks from Lebanon against Israel.
Earlier this month, Hezbollah’s leader, Hasan Nasrallah, vowed to retaliate against Israeli strikes that had killed Lebanese civilians, saying his group would hit new areas in Israel that had not previously been targeted. He has also said that Hezbollah would end its attacks if there was a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah announced that Israel had killed four of its members, adding that it had also struck several military targets inside Israel. The targets included what Hezbollah called the Golani barracks, shown on a map that the group distributed as being just north of Majdal Shams.

The incident in Majdal Shams followed a deadly strike in central Gaza, where local health authorities said at least 30 Palestinians were killed when Israel attacked a school sheltering displaced people.
The IDF said it targeted a Hamas position with “precision,” but video and eyewitness testimonies from the nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital suggested that most of the dead were civilians.
Around 4,000 people were staying in the Khadija School in Deir al-Balah, according to Gaza’s civil defense force. Video from the immediate aftermath of the attack showed bodies on the ground and bloodied children carried by adults. At the hospital, doctors said that they had received patients with full-body burns or their limbs shorn off.
More than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict so far, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority of the dead are women and children.

They target kids because they can’t fight a military vs military conflict.
They all need to be killed.
They all need to be killed.
They can’t fight a conventional military v. military war because the U.S. doesn’t give them billions of dollars every year like they do Israel.
War crimes.
Should have taken the deal Clinton brokered that gave them damn near everything.
Little problem, what they truly want is to kill every single Jew so they can’t really negotiate or sign anything. Arafat said as much when he alluded to being murdered if he actually signed a deal.
