"It is in no ones interest — not Israel's, not the region's, not the world's — for this conflict to spread beyond Gaza."

Hezbollah has signalled it "is willing to go all the way" toward a final border settlement if there's a Gaza cease-fire.

"I am doing my duty to prevent Lebanon from entering the war."

"We were not interested in a conflict. But if Hezbollah does start one, it will finish on Israel's terms."

"I don't know when the war in the north [will happen]. I can tell you that the likelihood of it happening in the coming months is much higher than it was in the past."

"The situation on Israel's northern border demands change... [t]he stopwatch for a diplomatic solution is running out."

"We are shifting from being passive to actively pursuing Hezbollah."

"Netanyahu clearly wants war [with Hezbollah]."

"It is likely that there is going to be a war between Hezbollah and Israel within the next six to eight months."

Will There Be an Israel-Hezbollah War?

A missile attack on a soccer field in the Golan Heights on Saturday killed at least 12 Druze children and teens, escalating tensions on the Lebanese border. Israel and the US blamed Hezbollah for the strike, prompting the US to talk with Israel and Lebanon to de-escalate the situation.

ABC news

Israeli Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that Saturday's attack was the most severe against Israel since Hamas' attack on October 7. The attack left twenty others injured. In response, the Israeli military launched attacks on Hezbollah targets "deep inside Lebanese territory."

Hezbollah said it had fired rockets against Israeli military installations in the area but denied involvement in the soccer field attack. Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib stated in an interview with the BBC that the incident could be a mistake by either the Israelis or Hezbollah and urged both sides to show restraint.

During a Sunday visit to the Majdal Shams soccer field, Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi said Israel knew the missile's launch location and had studied the rocket parts, stating it was a 53-kilo Hezbollah Falaq rocket. He said "Anyone who fires such a rocket into a populated area aims to kill civilians, to kill children."

Jerusalem Post

France, Norway, Saudi Arabia, and Sweden have urged their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. Sources report that Hezbollah has evacuated strategic locations in southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley, expecting an imminent attack. 

The UN denounced the deliberate attack on civilians and advocated for their safeguarding under all circumstances. Following the 1967 War, Israel occupied the Golan Heights and, despite condemnation from the UN Security Council, annexed the territory in 1981. The world still overwhelmingly views the Golan Heights as part of Syria.
