U.S. in “continuous discussions” with Israel, Lebanon after rocket attack – CBS News

The U.S. said Sunday that it has been in “continuous discussions” with Israel and Lebanon after Israel and the U.S. blamed Hezbollah for a rocket attack a day earlier on a Golan Heights soccer field that killed at least 12 children and teens, sparking fears of a broader conflict in the region. 

U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement Sunday that the rocket was a Hezbollah rocket and “launched from an area they control.” Hezbollah has denied responsibility. 

Israel’s military confirmed it had launched airstrikes against Hezbollah targets “deep inside Lebanese territory.” 

The airstrikes were apparent retaliation for Saturday’s rocket strike, which Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said was the deadliest strike against Israel since the Oct. 7 attack. Hagari said 20 others were wounded.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, traveling in Japan, told reporters on Sunday that “every indication is that indeed the rockets were from or the rocket was from Hezbollah.”
