A rocket sent from Lebanon struck a soccer field in Israel’s Golan Heights territory on Saturday, killing at least 10, Israel said, immediately blaming the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah—which denied the claim—just hours after an Israeli airstrike at a school in the Gaza Strip left at least 30 dead.Key Facts
Israel’s military wing, the Israel Defense Forces, claimed the rocket that landed in Golan Heights killed “multiple civilian casualties, including children.”
Hezbollah denied the IDF’s claim, though IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari argued in a video Hezbollah’s denial was a “lie,” adding 10 children were killed and more than 20 were injured, all between the ages of 8 and 20.
