Israel blames Lebanon's Hezbollah for the latest attack on occupied Golan Heights

“From the analysis of the IDF’s operational systems, the rocket launch at the center of Majdal Shams was carried out from an area located north of the village of Chebaa in southern Lebanon,” the IDF said in a statement. “According to reliable intelligence information in the possession of the IDF, Hezbollah is behind the attack.”

The Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, held a situational assessment at the operation center in Majdal Shams with the Commanding Officer of the 210th Division, BG Yair Peli, and additional commanders on Saturday evening following the attack.

They also visited the area where the rocket hit the soccer field in Majdal Shams and held discussions with the heads of the local authority and residents.

From the initial inquiry into the incident, an alert was activated, but it was an immediate alert that was too short. The IDF said “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.”
