A rocket strike on a soccer field in the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights has killed at least 11 children and teens and injured 20 others, according to Israeli authorities. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.” Foreign Minister Israel Katz also stated “we are nearing the moment in which we face an all-out war.”
Hezbollah swiftly denied involvement following the attack on the predominantly Druze town. Nevertheless, Israeli authorities continue to move closer to war with IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari saying “We will prepare for a response against Hezbollah … we will act,” in a statement.
I don’t normally do this, but this news signals the high likelihood of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah that could have broad regional and global consequences. For more on this, I urge you to check out some of our previous analysis on the subject.

After October 7th I said it's coming, frankly I'm surprised it's taken this long. But you would imagine Israel would believe they've got it just about wrapped up on Southern border before moving up to the north which likely means it goes to Iran eventually. Brutally unbearable situation is about to get worse. Shudder to think what that looks like.
"Israel occupied Golan Heights"?
That's surprisingly poor wording that equates the north of Israel to the West Bank. I understand it's contested, but it's perceived by Israel every bit as Israeli as Tel Aviv or Ashdod. It's the same area that's been evacuated since the start if this war because of the Hezbollah threat.
