Hezbollah, a Lebanese group, has claimed responsibility for launching dozens of Katyusha rockets targeting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) air defense headquarters in the Kaila barracks area of the Golan Heights. The attack took place at 12:35 a.m. local time on Sunday.
In a statement released by Hezbollah, the group expressed its support for the Palestinian people in Gaza and their resistance against Israeli attacks on civilian areas. The statement emphasized Hezbollah's solidarity with the Palestinian cause and its commitment to standing against what it perceives as Israeli aggression.
The incident marks a significant escalation in tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, with the rockets specifically aimed at the IDF air defense headquarters. The Golan Heights region has been a contentious area, with both Israel and Syria claiming sovereignty over the territory.
Hezbollah's actions have drawn condemnation from Israeli officials, who have vowed to respond to the attack. The Israeli government views Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and holds the group responsible for any violence directed towards Israeli targets.
The attack comes amidst heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza. The situation remains volatile, with fears of further escalation on both the Israeli-Lebanese and Israeli-Palestinian fronts.
As the situation continues to unfold, international observers are closely monitoring developments in the region, with concerns over the potential for further violence and instability. The latest rocket attack by Hezbollah underscores the complex and volatile nature of the Middle East conflict, with multiple actors and interests at play.
