Israel and the US claimed the attack was carried out by Hezbollah.
Hezbollah denied
The US has also said it is in “constant discussions” with its Israeli and Lebanese counterparts following Saturday’s deadly rocket attack that killed at least 12 children playing football in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. US National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement on Sunday that the rocket used in the attack belonged to Lebanese Hezbollah and was “launched from territory under their control”. However, Hezbollah has denied this.
