A Biden administration official expressed concern that the deadly Hezbollah strike
could spark an all-out war between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group.
“What happened today could be the trigger we have been worried about
and tried to avoid for 10 months,” the official told Axios.

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, July 27 (Reuters) -



Israeli authorities said, blaming Hezbollah and vowing to inflict a heavy price on the Iran-backed Lebanese group.
Hezbollah denied any responsibility for the strike, the deadliest in Israel or Israeli-annexed territory since the start of the conflict in Gaza.
The attack sharply escalated tensions in the hostilities which have been fought in parallel to the Gaza war and has raised fears of a full-blown conflict between the heavily armed adversaries.
The rocket struck a football pitch in the Druze village of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, territory captured from Syria by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed in a move not recognised by most countries.
"Hezbollah will pay a heavy price, the kind it has thus far not paid," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a phone call with the leader of the Druze community in Israel, according to a statement from his office.
In a written statement, Hezbollah said: "The Islamic Resistance has absolutely nothing to do with the incident, and categorically denies all false allegations in this regard".
Hezbollah had earlier announced several rocket attacks targeting Israeli military positions.
The Israeli ambulance service said 13 more people were wounded by the rocket that hit the soccer pitch which was filled at the time with children and teenagers.
"They were playing soccer, they heard sirens they ran to shelter...it may take them like 15 seconds (to reach the shelter). But they couldn't reach the shelter because the rocket hit the site between the ground and the shelter," said Mourhaf Abu Saleh, a witness.
Footage posted on social media showed the moment the rocket hit. An air raid siren can be heard, followed by a big explosion and images of smoke rising. Reuters was able to independently verify the location with the buildings and road layout that matched the satellite imagery of the area.
Idan Avshalom, a medic with the Magen David Adom ambulance service, said first responders arrived to a scene of great destruction. "There were casualties on the grass and the scene was gruesome," he said.
Netanyahu, already due to head back from the United States to Israel overnight on Saturday, said he would bring his flight forward and convene his security cabinet upon arrival.
The United States, which has been leading diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict across the Lebanese-Israeli border, condemned it as a horrific attack and said U.S. support for Israel's security was "iron-clad and unwavering against all Iranian backed terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah".
The United States "will continue to support efforts to end these terrible attacks along the Blue Line, which must be a top priority," the spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said in a statement. The Blue Line refers to the frontier between Lebanon and Israel.
Moscow, which has ties with most of the key players in the Middle East, including Israel, Iran, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, condemned the attacks in the Golan Heights.
"We condemn all terrorist actions undertaken by any entity," Russian TASS state news agency cited Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying on Sunday.

    Summary

    Israel not seeking to drag region to all-out war, official says
    Blinken emphasises importance of preventing escalation
    Saturday's strike hit a football field, killing 12
    Israel, U.S. blamed Hezbollah, which denied involvement

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, July 29 (Reuters) - Israel wants to hurt Hezbollah but not drag the Middle East into all-out war, two Israeli officials said on Monday, as Lebanon braced for retaliation after a rocket strike that killed 12 children and teens in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Two other Israeli officials said Israel was preparing for the possibility of a few days of fighting following Saturday's rocket strike at a sports field in a Druze village.
All four officials, who included a senior defence official and a diplomatic source, spoke on condition of anonymity and gave no further information about Israel's plans for retaliation.
"The estimation is that the response will not lead to an all-out war," said the diplomatic source. "That would not be in our interest at this point."
Israel and the United States have blamed Lebanon's Hezbollah for the strike. Hezbollah has denied any role.
The incident has added to concerns that months of cross-border hostilities between Israel and the heavily armed Iran-backed Lebanese militant group could spiral into broader, more destructive war.
Late on Sunday, Israel's security cabinet authorised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant to decide on the "manner and timing" of a response to the rocket strike.
Israel's largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, quoted unidentified officials as saying the response would be "limited but significant".
The report said options for retaliation ranged from a limited but "photogenic" attack on infrastructure, including bridges, power plants and ports, to hitting Hezbollah weapons depots or targeting high-level Hezbollah commanders.
Prompted by the Gaza war, the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have been their worst since they went to war in 2006.

Don't start conspiracies.

It's look like we avoided WW3 for now as I heard
on the radio today that Turkey wants to join in.

If total war breaks out:
Tel Aviv and Haifa will be reduced to rubble like Gaza.

The Jews were stupid to level Gaza -
now the Arabs and the Persians and the  Turks want to do the same to them.

Just like Hitler who leveled London and got paid back 100 fold.

They are all war idiots running the show.

The US response demonstrates that the US believes the missile that struck the Druze in The Golan Heights was an Israeli missile.

Furthermore, video reports of the location of the missile hit do not depict a crater.

This was a false flag attack by Israeli Jews.

There's no crater. The iron Dome missiles shoot shrapnel at the targets.

The families of the victims chased the Jewish Israeli Smotrich away when he attended the funeral.

An explosion is reported by Lebanese media in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said an Israeli air raid had targeted the area around Hezbollah’s Shura Council in the Haret Hreik neighbourhood of the capital and at least one person has been killed.The Israeli military said it conducted “a targeted strike in Beirut on the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams and the killing of numerous additional Israeli civilians”.

Summary

    Israel launches an air strike on Beirut that it says targeted a senior commander in the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah

    Footage from the scene in the southern suburb of Dahiyeh shows damage to a block of flats, with crowds gathered outside

    It is not yet clear what casualties resulted from the attack

    News agencies are quoting sources as saying Fuad Shukr was the target, but that he survived; Israel's Defense Forces say it killed Shukr in the strike

    Israel's army says the commander was behind a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday that killed 12 children and young people. Hezbollah denied involvement in that attack

According to hamas terrorists killing Jewish children is halal but Allah disagree, that's why Allah helps Israel.

Destroy hamas = free Gaza.

Israeli military declines to comment on death of Hamas political leader

From CNN's Abeer Salman in Jerusalem

The Israeli military told CNN they “don’t respond to reports in the foreign media,” after Iranian state media reported that


In a separate statement, Hamas said Haniyeh was killed in what it said was an Israeli raid on his residence in Tehran after he participated in the inauguration of the Iranian president.

Haniyeh was a longtime senior leader in the group, after first joining Hamas in the late 1980s and climbing the ranks in the following decades.



Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran, according to Hamas and Iranian media, was a longtime political leader of the militant group.

The 62-year-old was born in a refugee camp near Gaza City, and joined Hamas in the late 1980s during the First Intifada, or uprising.

As Hamas grew in power, Haniyeh rose through the ranks – being appointed part of a secret “collective leadership” in 2004, then being named the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority in 2006.

By 2017 he had become chief of the group — and was named a “specially designated global terrorist” by the United States soon after.

Over the years, he participated in peace talks with former US President Jimmy Carter, and met with other world leaders including the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, and Chinese diplomat Wang Kejian earlier this year.

In April, Israeli airstrikes killed three of Haniyeh’s sons and four of his grandchildren, according to Hamas.

At the time, Haniyeh – who was based in Qatar – insisted their deaths would not affect ongoing ceasefire and hostage talks.

“Whoever thinks that by targeting my kids during the negotiation talks and before a deal is agreed upon that it will force Hamas to back down on its demands, is delusional,” he said.

Do you have any Jewish friends?

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has released a statement saying its top political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in Iran.

In the statement, the group mourned the death of Haniyeh, and pointed the finger of blame at Israel, saying he was killed in "a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran".

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard also released a statement saying Haniyeh was "assassinated" but gave no details on how.



Very corpulent for a starving, under siege Gazan, that Hamas bastard on the left.

What we're covering

    Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh has been killed in the Iranian capital Tehran, according to the Palestinian militant group and Iranian state media. Hamas said Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli strike.

    Israel’s military said it does not respond to reports in foreign media, though senior officials have previously vowed to eliminate Hamas in response to the group’s October 7 attack.

    Haniyeh was hit with an “airborne guided projectile,” state media said. He had attended the Iranian president’s inauguration on Tuesday and was reportedly staying in one of the residences for veterans in north Tehran.

    The assassination comes at a fraught time for the Middle East, with escalating confrontations between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah threatening to expand into a wider regional war, and as Hamas battles Israel’s military in Gaza.

These are not Israeli children.  In fact, they are residents of a conquered land, and not Jewish.   Most of them do not want Israel rule.   Which is why the Israeli ministers got booed when they try to attend the funerals.   Its very complicated.
