WASHINGTON: The United States on Sunday (Jul 28) blamed Lebanon-based Hezbollah for a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teenagers on a foot
People look at the damage after rockets were launched across Lebanon's border with Israel which, according to Israel's ambulance services killed people, at a soccer pitch in Majdal Shams, a Druze village in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Jul 27, 2024. Israel also blamed Hezbollah and said it would strike hard against the Iran-backed group after the attack on Saturday, but Hezbollah has denied any responsibility.
"This attack was conducted by Lebanese Hezbollah. It was their rocket, and launched from an area they control," the White House said in a statement on Sunday. It added that Washington has been in discussions with Israeli and Lebanese officials since Saturday's attack, which it condemned and described as"horrific."
The White House said Washington was working on a diplomatic solution to end attacks on the Israel-Lebanon border. "Israel continues to face severe threats to its security, and the Vice President’s support for Israel’s security is ironclad," Gordon said in a statement.
