Nasrallah says war with Israel entered new phase, reiterates claim Hezbollah not responsible for Majdal Shams attack

Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah says that the war with Israel has entered a new phase, and reiterates his claim that the terror group is not responsible for a rocket strike that killed 12 children in a soccer field in the northern Druze village of Majdal Shams on Saturday.

He says Hezbollah would have admitted if it made a mistake and killed civilians.

US and Israeli intelligence has indicated that the rocket was fired from Lebanon by Hezbollah.

Nasrallah notes global calls to calm tensions after Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli strike on the outskirts of Beirut yesterday morning.
