The Israeli Air Force has launched retaliatory strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following a rocket attack on Sunday that killed 12 people, including children, on a football pitch in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The rocket, fired by Hezbollah, struck the town of Majdal Shams, resulting in the deaths of 12 individuals, many of whom were children and teenagers from the Druze community. Israel's military and foreign ministry have condemned the attack, stating that Hezbollah has 'crossed all red lines.' The Israeli government has vowed to continue its military response against Hezbollah targets, escalating tensions between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group.
