Deadly strike fired from Lebanon into Golan Heights sparks fears of regional war

A rocket fired from Lebanon struck a football pitch and killed at least 12 young people in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights on Saturday, Israel's army said, claiming the rocket was fired by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, who denied any connection to the incident. This strike raised fears of a wider regional conflict, as it is the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel, according to the military's chief spokesman.
