The Biden administration has expressed significant concern that the recent
attack on the occupied Golan Heights, which the US alleges was "from
Lebanon", could escalate into a full-scale war between the Israeli
occupation and Hezbollah, according to a report by *Axios*.

The US allegations come despite the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon denying
to the United Nations that it was involved in the attack, with *Axios *citing
a US official as saying Hezbollah officials told the UN that the Golan
Heights incident was the result of an Israeli interceptor missile hitting
the football field.

A US official, speaking to *Axios*, indicated that this incident might be
the catalyst the administration has feared and tried to avoid for the past
ten months.

*BBC *correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard highlighted in a post on X (formerly
Twitter) that many questions surround the events in Majdal Shams. While
Hezbollah denies responsibility for the incident, the Israeli military
maintains its accusations against the Resistance movement.

Kohnavard further noted that Hezbollah's attack pattern over the past ten
months has primarily targeted military objectives. Even after attacks on
the properties of settlers on the Israeli side, Hezbollah justified its
actions by underlining that the targeted locations were used by Israeli
soldiers, she said.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah fully denied any involvement

and responsibility for a deadly strike on the village of Majdal Shams in
the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, contrary to Israeli claims about the
matter.

Hezbollah stressed that it had nothing to do with the incident, completely
denying all the "false claims" in that regard.

This comes after a missile of unknown origin struck a playground in the
occupied Syrian village of Majdal Shams, which is made up entirely of Druze
Syrians. The strike killed at least 10 civilians, including children, and
wounded at least a dozen others.

Reports indicate that the explosion may have been caused by an Iron Dome
anti-air missile that deviated off its course and struck the area, as per
Israeli media.
