(Undated) — Israel affirmed Hezbollah will “pay the price” after blaming the Lebanese militant group for a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children. Hezbollah “firmly denies” it was behind the strike. Israeli warplanes coordinated airstrikes against Hezbollah targets “deep inside Lebanese territory” and along the border overnight Sunday, according to a statement from the military on Sunday Morning. Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant pledged a heavy response while visiting the town of Majdal Shams where the rocket attack hit a soccer field and left children and teenagers that had been playing dead. The Saturday attacks on the region involved “approximately 30 projectiles” coming from Lebanon into Israeli territory in a barrage. Israel’s military hurriedly blamed the Iran-Backed militant group.
