Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells his US counterpart on Monday that Iran-backed Hezbollah would be held responsible for a rocket strike that killed 12 children and teenagers in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant briefed US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Saturday’s rocket attack, Gallant’s office says.
“Minister Gallant noted that the attack on Saturday is a significant escalation and that Iranian proxy Hezbollah will be held responsible,” his office said.
