The shelling of the Golan Heights village on July 27, which killed 12 children, prompted Israel to respond, blaming Hezbollah for the attack. The United States cautioned Israel about potential repercussions of striking Hezbollah bases in Beirut.
Russia condemned Israel’s actions, labeling them a violation of international law. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant remarked that Hezbollah had crossed a red line.
Israel retaliated for the Golan Heights incident by targeting a Hamas office in southern Beirut on January 2, resulting in casualties. Despite international criticism, Israel remains firm in its response to threats from militant groups.
