The White House has said that rocket fire that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights was “conducted by Lebanese Hezbollah,” AFP reports

Calling the attack “horrific,” National Security Council Spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement that “it was their rocket, and launched from an area they control. It should be universally condemned.”

“Our support for Israel’s security is ironclad and unwavering against all Iran-backed threats, including Hezbollah,” Watson said. “We have been in continuous discussions with Israeli and Lebanese counterparts since the horrific attack,” she added.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, also condemned the attack in language similar to that used by the White House.

Harris “has been briefed and is closely monitoring Hezbollah’s horrific attack on a soccer field in Majdal Shams,” her NSC advisor Phil Gordon wrote on X. “She condemns this horrific attack and mourns for all those killed and wounded.”

Hezbollah has said it had no connection to the incident.
