The US condemned a “horrific” attack on the town of Druze in Majdal Shams in the northern occupied Golan Heights that killed 11 people, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Our support for Israel’s security is iron-clad and unwavering against all Iranian backed terrorist groups, including Lebanese Hezbollah,” a National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement, according to media reports.

The US will continue to support efforts to end “these terrible attacks along the Blue Line, which must be a top priority,” the spokesperson was quoted.
