The shelling by the Lebanese terror group targeted the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams, officials confirmed, adding such an escalation could ramp up the ongoing war even further as Israeli leadership immediately gathered to weigh its response.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz discussed the deadly attack with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and declared that “Hezbollah crossed all red lines” and the Jewish state was now “facing an all-out war” with the Lebanese terrorists.
“I have no doubt that we’ll pay a cost,” Katz said, adding Hezbollah will pay a higher toll for its actions.
When Israel does retaliate, Katz claimed it would have the “full backing” of the United States and Europe.
After receiving word of Hezbollah’s attack, Netanyahu rushed back to Israel, from Washington, DC, moving his flight up by three and a half hours.
He was still in the nation’s capital on Saturday after addressing Congress Wednesday and having separate meetings with President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Up to 40 people were reported injured in the attack, with a handful listed in critical condition.
Hezbollah denies carrying out the attack, which unfolded hours after an Israeli airstrike on south Lebanon killed three members of the militant group.
