At Least 12 Killed in Rocket Attack From Lebanon in Golan Heights
At least 12 people were killed and several others were injured in a rocket attack from Lebanon in the Golan Heights on Thursday. The attack, which targeted a civilian area, is the latest escalation of violence between Israel and Lebanon.
The rocket attack came as tensions between the two countries have been escalating in recent weeks. Israel has accused Lebanon of allowing Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon, to launch attacks against Israel from its territory. Hezbollah has denied the accusations, but there have been several incidents of cross-border violence in recent weeks.
The rocket attack on Thursday was the deadliest in recent memory, with at least 12 people killed and many more injured. The attack targeted a civilian area in the Golan Heights, a disputed region between Israel and Syria that has been the site of frequent clashes in recent years.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett condemned the attack, calling it a “grave escalation” and vowing to respond with force. The Israeli military has already launched airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response to the attack.
The rocket attack has raised fears of a wider conflict between Israel and Lebanon, with both countries on high alert. The United Nations has called for restraint and for both sides to avoid further escalation.
The rocket attack from Lebanon in the Golan Heights is a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions in the region and the potential for further violence. Both Israel and Lebanon must work to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed. The international community must also step in to help mediate a peaceful resolution to the conflict before it spirals out of control.
