Israel nearing 'all-out war' - foreign minister | 27 July 2024 | Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has vowed to launch a "disproportionate" response after Hezbollah allegedly killed ten [later reports state 12] people in a rocket attack on a football field in the Golan Heights. The incident has brought Israel to the brink of "all-out war" with the group, Katz has warned. Most of the dead were children, and more than a dozen were injured by the strike in the town of Majdal Shams on Saturday, according to Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) blamed the attack on "the Hezbollah terror group." "There is no doubt that Hezbollah crossed all red lines," Katz told Israel's Channel 12 News. "We are facing an all-out war" with the group, he continued, adding that Israel "will respond disproportionately."
