The Druze community in Majdal Shams mourned the loss of 12 children and young adults who were killed in a rocket strike on a football pitch. The attack, blamed on Hezbollah by Israel, was the deadliest on the country’s northern border since fighting began. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Hezbollah would “pay a heavy price” for the incident, while Hezbollah denied responsibility and retaliated by striking a military base in the Golan Heights. The White House National Security Council is working on a diplomatic solution to end the attacks in the border area between Israel and Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have resulted in the deaths of over 450 people, sparking concerns of a wider conflict. Efforts to ease tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have been unsuccessful, with Hezbollah demanding an end to Israeli attacks in Gaza before ceasing fire. Israel and Hamas are considering a cease-fire proposal to de-escalate the violence in Gaza and free around 110 hostages. The situation remains tense as the region grapples with the aftermath of the deadly rocket strike and ongoing violence.
