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.
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."
