As the United States continues warmongering and accusing Hezbollah in Lebanon of carrying out the recent attack on the occupied Golan Heights, it simultaneously claimed it does not want tensions to escalate on the Palestinian-Lebanese border. 

While US Secretary of State Antony Blinken yet again claimed that all signs indicate that the rocket was hit by Hezbollah, without revealing any evidence in this regard or even footage, he revealed that he was in talks with "Israel", emphasizing that the situation in the occupied Palestinian North must not escalate. 

He further stressed that a ceasefire in Gaza would be an opportunity to bring lasting calm to the Blue Line between occupied Palestine and Lebanon. 

"We are determined to bring the Gaza conflict to a close. It's gone on for far too long. It's cost far too many lives. We want to see Israelis, we want to see Palestinians, we want to see Lebanese live free from the threat of conflict and violence." 

Despite fears of a full-out war with Lebanon, Blinken reiterated that "Israel" "has the right to defend itself," a notion repeatedly used to justify the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza and the Lebanese South, still hundreds of massacres later.

Yesterday, the US expressed significant concern that the attack could escalate into a full-scale war between the Israeli occupation and Hezbollah, according to a report by Axios.

The US allegations come despite the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon denying to the United Nations that it was involved in the attack, with Axios citing a US official as saying that Hezbollah officials told the UN that the Golan Heights incident was the result of an Israeli interceptor missile hitting the football field.

A US official, speaking to Axios, indicated that this incident might be the catalyst the administration has feared and tried to avoid for the past ten months. 

BBC correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard highlighted in a post on X that many questions surround the events in Majdal Shams. While Hezbollah denies responsibility for the incident, the Israeli military maintains its accusations against the Resistance movement, offering no proof to this end.

Kohnavard further noted that Hezbollah's attack pattern over the past ten months has primarily targeted military objectives. Even after attacks on the properties of settlers on the Israeli side, Hezbollah justified its actions by underlining that the targeted locations were used by Israeli soldiers, she maintained.

There are many questions regarding what has happened in Majdal Shams, Northern Israel.
Hezbollah says “it wasn’t them”. Israeli army says “they are sure, it was Hezbollah.”
Some sources are speculating if it was an “Iron Dome misconduct”?
The pattern of Hezbollah’s attacks in the…
