All of those killed are between the ages of 10 and 20 years old. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We share the grief of the families of the victims and embrace the entire Druze community at this difficult time. We send strength to those injured and wish them a speedy recovery,&rdquo; Hagari said. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;From the initial inquiry into the incident, an alert was activated, but it was an immediate alert that was too short,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;From the IAF&rsquo;s inquiry, at the moment it appears that this was a single rocket. We are now looking into this in-depth and will release the details transparently to the public.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hagari placed the responsibility for the attack squarely on Hezbollah, though they have denied having a role in the tragedy. Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, is based in Lebanon. Shortly after Hamas&rsquo;s Oct. 7 attack in Israel, Hezbollah began firing rockets and missiles into northern Israel. The two sides have continued to engage in cross-border fires with the potential for all-out war viewed as ongoing and escalating possibility.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the past hour, Hezbollah has been lying and denying its responsibility for the incident. Our intelligence is clear &ndash; Hezbollah is responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/50-years-after-nixon-era-report-pushed-for-abortion-as-population-control-pro-life-leaders-release-declaration-on-a-new-american-future\/\" title=\"50 Years After Nixon-Era Report Pushed For Abortion As Population Control, Pro-Life Leaders Release \u2018Declaration On A New American Future\u2019\">killing innocent children<\/a>. Ten-year-old children. And once again, the brutality of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization was exposed. This is a very serious incident and we will act accordingly. The IDF will do everything to protect the citizens of the State of Israel,&rdquo; Hagari said. <\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in the U.S. this week to make his case and shore up support in the midst of a war against Hamas, said Hezbollah &ldquo;will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far,&rdquo; according to his office. <\/p>\n<p>This attack, the deadliest in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/like-something-out-of-black-mirror-how-an-australian-town-became-a-smart-city-overnight\/\" title=\"\u2018Like Something Out Of Black Mirror\u2019: How An Australian Town Became A \u2018Smart-City\u2019 Overnight\">northern territory<\/a> since the fighting started, stokes fears of escalation. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What happened today could be the trigger we have been worried about and tried to avoid for 10 months,&rdquo; one U.S. official said to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/07\/27\/golan-heights-attack-israel-hezbollah-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Axios<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Golan Heights territory has been under Israeli control since the 1967 war with Syria.

The victims were all aged between 10 and 20 years. &#8220;We share the sorrow of the victims&#8217; families and stand with the entire Druze community during this challenging time. We wish strength to those who are injured and hope for their swift recovery,&#8221; Hagari stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;Preliminary investigations indicate that an alert was triggered, but it was brief.&#8221; According to inquiries from the Israel Air Force (IAF), it appears that only one rocket was involved. An extensive investigation is underway, with details set to be shared transparently with the public.<\/p>\n<p>Hagari attributed responsibility for the attack to Hezbollah, despite their denial of involvement. Backed by Iran, Hezbollah operates from Lebanon and began launching rockets into northern Israel shortly after Hamas&#8217;s assault on October 7. The ongoing exchanges of fire between both sides raise concerns about a potential escalation into full-scale war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In recent hours, Hezbollah has been lying about its role in this incident,&#8221; Hagari asserted. &#8220;Our intelligence is unequivocal\u2014Hezbollah is accountable for killing innocent children as young as ten years old. This brutal act underscores Hezbollah&#8217;s nature as a terrorist organization. This serious incident will prompt appropriate actions; the IDF will do everything possible to safeguard Israeli citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, currently visiting the U.S. to garner support amid ongoing conflict with Hamas, stated through his office that Hezbollah &#8220;will face severe consequences for this attack\u2014consequences they have yet to experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This incident marks one of the deadliest attacks in northern Israel since hostilities began and raises alarms about further escalation risks.
