Hezbollah rocket kills 12 at football ground, Israel vows response

Twelve people, including children, were murdered by a rocket attack on a football pitch in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to Israeli officials. They blamed Hezbollah and threatened to exact serious consequences on the Lebanese organisation, which is supported by Iran.
The worst strike to have occurred in Israel or Israeli-annexed territory since the beginning of the Gaza conflict was denied by Hezbollah.

Fears of a full-scale battle between the heavily armed enemies have increased since the incident, which drastically escalated hostilities in the combat fought alongside the Gaza war.
The rocket hit a football pitch in the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which Israel annexed in a move that was not recognised by most nations after capturing the area from Syria in the 1967 war.
