Hezbollah, a prominent militant group in Lebanon, has denied any involvement in an attack on Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Israeli army had earlier claimed that the attack originated from Lebanon, resulting in several injuries.
A senior official from Hezbollah, Mohammad Afif, stated to Reuters that the group was not responsible for the strike. This statement comes as tensions continue to escalate in the already volatile Middle East region.
The conflicting reports of the incident highlight the complexity of the situation in the Golan Heights, a disputed territory between Israel and Syria. The area has been a focal point of regional tensions and has seen numerous clashes over the years.
Al Jazeera’s reporters, Zeina Khodr and Hamda Salhut, are providing live updates on the situation as it unfolds. It remains to be seen how the Israeli army will respond to Hezbollah’s denial of involvement in the attack.
The incident serves as a reminder of the fragile peace in the Middle East and the potential for escalation in conflicts between neighboring countries. As the situation continues to develop, it is crucial for international observers to closely monitor the events in the Golan Heights to prevent further violence and instability in the region.
