'Israel's' Iron Dome anti-missile system stand in place in 'Sderot', Palestine, Wednesday, April 17, 2024 (AP)
</li></div></ul>
<p>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 <em>Axios</em>.</p>
<p>The US allegations come despite the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon
denying to the United Nations that it was involved in the attack, with <em>Axios </em>citing a US official as saying <span>Hezbollah
officials told the UN that the Golan Heights incident was the result of
an Israeli interceptor missile hitting the football field.</span></p>
<p>A US official, speaking to <em>Axios</em>, indicated that this incident might be the catalyst the administration has feared and tried to avoid for the past ten months. </p>
<p><em>BBC </em>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-denies-responsibility-for-majdal-shams-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fully denied any involvement</a>
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.</p>
<p>Hezbollah stressed that it had nothing to do with the incident, completely denying all the "false claims" in that regard.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
