Unnamed officials vow ‘severe response’ to deadly Hezbollah rocket attack

Israeli officials signal the military response to the Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 10 people in the Golan’s Majdal Shams, mostly kids, will likely be a very aggressive one.

Channel 12 cites a senior Israeli official in the prime minister’s delegation to Washington as saying: “The events in the north will bring about a dramatic turn in fighting in the area.”

Kan news sites an unnamed senior official as saying “The disaster at Majdal Shams could signal a change of direction in the war.”

A security source tells Kan: “This is an incident that we will not gloss over. There will be a severe response.”

Walla news also reports the IDF is preparing for harsh retaliation.
