A rocket sent from Lebanon struck a soccer field in Israel’s Golan Heights territory on Saturday, killing at least 10, Israel said, immediately blaming the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah—which denied the claim—just hours after an Israeli airstrike at a school in the Gaza Strip left at least 30 dead.

Israel’s military wing, the Israel Defense Forces, claimed the rocket that landed in Golan Heights killed “multiple civilian casualties, including children.”
Hezbollah denied the IDF’s claim, though IDF spokesperson Daniel argued in a video that Hezbollah’s denial was a “lie,” adding 10 children were killed and more than 20 were injured, all between the ages of 8 and 20.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hezbollah would “pay a heavy price,” for the attack, and the Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said that the country is “nearing the moment in which we face an all-out war,” according to the Associated Press.
