Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman warns Lebanon of the threat of a “devastating war” after a Hezbollah rocket attack on the Golan Heights. Israel promises to respond to the killing of 11 people, including children.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein reacted to the rocket attack on the Golan Heights on Saturday. He emphasized that Israel would respond and warned of the threat of a "devastating war." He wrote about this in his X, UNN reports .

Yesterday, Hezbollah, Iran's frontline outpost in Lebanon, carried out a massacre in Majdal Shams: killing innocent children and teenagers playing soccer,

- Marmorstein writes.

Details

The Israeli Foreign Minister noted that Hezbollah acts as a direct representative of Iran and targets civilians. According to him, Hezbollah does not distinguish between Jews and non-Jews in its attacks, aiming to kill Israelis regardless of their identity. Despite their denials, Hezbollah is undoubtedly responsible for the recent bloodshed.

The missile that killed our boys and girls was an Iranian missile, and Hezbollah is the only terrorist organization that has such missiles in its arsenal,

- He added.

He noted that Saturday's killing by Hezbollah was a flagrant violation of all red lines. According to him, this is not a clash between two armies, but an act of a terrorist organization that deliberately targets civilians.

Israel will exercise its right and duty to act in self-defense and respond to the massacre,

- Marmorstein emphasized.

He said that the international community should accuse Iran and its terrorist allies, such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, of committing terrorist acts. He called for the recognition of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, the imposition of tough sanctions against Iran, the declaration of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, and the prosecution of Hezbollah for the massacre of children they have committed.

The only way the world can prevent a full-scale war, which would be devastating for Lebanon as well, is to force Hezbollah to implement Security Council Resolution 1701. Now is the last minute to do so diplomatically,

- added the Israeli Foreign Minister.

Recall
