According to The Times of India, Israel’s foreign ministry declared on Sunday that Hezbollah had “crossed all red lines” with a rocket attack on the occupied Golan Heights, which killed 12 civilians. The strike, attributed to the Lebanese militant group, has significantly escalated tensions in the already volatile region.
The Israeli ministry’s statement emphasized the severity of the incident, stating, “Saturday’s massacre constitutes the crossing of all red lines by Hezbollah. This is not an army fighting another army; rather, it is a terrorist organization deliberately shooting at civilians.” The attack has been condemned as a direct assault on non-combatants, highlighting the brutal nature of the conflict.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has denied any responsibility for the attack. However, Israel has pointed fingers at the group, which has a history of hostility and military engagements with Israel. The Golan Heights, annexed by Israel in 1981, has been a contentious area with frequent clashes between Israeli forces and various militant groups.
The incident has drawn international attention, with calls for restraint and condemnation of the attack on civilians. The United Nations has urged both sides to de-escalate the situation to avoid further loss of life and potential broader conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency cabinet meeting following the attack, vowing a strong response. “Israel will not tolerate such acts of terror against its citizens. We will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of our nation,” Netanyahu asserted….Seë_Morë
