Israel’s Air Force says it has hit 7 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon including “weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure” after a rocket hit a football pitch in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, killing 12 children and young adults on Saturday. It was the biggest loss of life on Israel’s northern border since the war began on 7 October, but the terror group has denied any involvement – it claims the explosion was caused by an Israeli interceptor rocket. The retaliatory strike happened hours after Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Hezbollah would “pay a heavy price”. The United Nations has once again called for “maximum restraint” by all parties – there are ongoing fears a wider conflict would “engulf the entire region in a catastrophe beyond belief”.
