The IDF says it has determined that the Hezbollah rocket that struck Majdal Shams, killing 11 civilians and wounding dozens more, was launched by the terror group from an area just north of Chebaa.
“According to the reliable intelligence information available to the IDF, the Hezbollah terror group is behind the rocket launch,” the military says.
Despite its denials of involvement, Hezbollah had claimed to have launched dozens of rockets at an Israeli military base in the Golan Heights, located just north of Majdal Shams.
