Israel has claimed responsibility for an airstrike on Beirut, Lebanon, allegedly targeting a Hezbollah commander who it claims organised an attack on the Golan Heights which killed 12 children.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had “carried out 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.”Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted “Hezbollah crossed the red line” on social media minutes after the Israeli military claimed responsibility for the strike on Tuesday.
“These children are our children, they are the children of all of us,” he said as officials laid a wreath.“The state of Israel will not and cannot overlook this. Our response will come, and it will be severe,” he said, adding that the rocket was fired by Hezbollah.Netanyahu’s visit was protested by nearly 300 friends and relatives of the victims, who accused him of exploiting the children’s deaths for political gain.
