We will
ensure Hezbollah 'pays a price for this loss', Israeli minister says after
deadly strike on football pitch
Israel’s
defence minister, Yoav Gallant, has said his country mourns for “the innocent
boys and girls killed” in the Golan Heights, vowing that the Iran-backed
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah will pay a “price for this loss”.
He wrote
in a post on X:
There are
150,000 Druze in Israel, as well as millions of Jews and Arab Israelis. We live
side by side and all suffer from Hezbollah’s terror. We will ensure Hezbollah,
the proxy of Iran, pays a price for this loss.
In a
visit to the scene of the deadly rocket attack on the football pitch in Majdal
Shams, Gallant, who was part of Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet before it was
dissolved last month, told local leaders that the entire country was standing
with them.
“The
entire state of Israel is with you in this terrible tragedy,” Gallant was
quoted by the Times of Israel as telling Dolan Abu Salah, head of the Majdal
Shams council. “Hezbollah is responsible for it and they will pay the price,”
the defence minister added.
