Nine dead in rocket attack on Israeli-occupied Golan

“All accusations [of the group’s involvement] are false”.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz told Israel’s Channel 12 news on Saturday: “We are facing an all-out war.”

The attack followed an Israeli strike on Lebanon that killed four militants. Hezbollah fired rockets in response to that, but denied involvement in the Majdal Shams attack.

Verified video shows crowds of people on a football pitch and stretchers being rushed to waiting ambulances.

Majdal Shams is one of four villages in the Golan where about 25,000 Druze people live.

They were offered Israeli citizenship when the Syrian Golan Heights was annexed in 1981, but most refused. They can study and work in Israel, but not vote.
