Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt urges for unity in Lebanon as the Israeli occupation attempts to sow discord by painting the Lebanese Resistance as the culprit in the Golan Heights bombing.

Former leader of Lebanon's Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, emphasized on Saturday the need for vigilance against Israeli efforts to ignite conflicts, extending his heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs who perished in the occupied Syrian Golan.

Jumblatt, a Druze leader, remarked that in light of Hezbollah's statement denying the involvement of the Islamic Resistance in the bombing that killed at least 11 Druze Syrians living in the occupied Syrian territories, everyone must be aware of the Israeli occupation's attempts to sow discord.

He called on the people in Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights to be cautious of "any provocation or incitement within the enemy's destructive agenda."

The Lebanese political figure underlined that the occupation has long been working to incite strife, fragment the region, and target its components.

"We have previously thwarted the Israeli plans," he added, but they "re-emerged, and we are ready to confront them alongside the resistance and all freedom fighters."

'Israel' massacres civilians

Jumblatt highlighted that the past and present actions of the occupation were mired with massacres against civilians, emphasizing the need to "prevent the expansion of the war and call for an immediate cessation of aggression and a ceasefire."

He strongly condemned the targeting of civilians, whether in occupied Palestine, the occupied Golan Heights, or southern Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah fully denied any involvement and responsibility for a deadly strike on the village of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, contrary to Israeli claims about the matter.

Hezbollah stressed that it had nothing to do with the incident, completely denying all the "false claims" in that regard.

This comes after a missile of unknown origin struck a playground in the occupied Syrian village of Majdal Shams, which is made up entirely of Druze Syrians. The strike killed at least 10 civilians, including children, and wounded at least a dozen others. 

Reports indicate that the explosion may have been caused by an Iron Dome anti-air missile that deviated off its course and struck the area, as per Israeli media.

Possible escalation

The Biden administration has expressed significant concern that the recent attack on the occupied Golan Heights, which the US alleges was "from Lebanon", 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 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 (formerly Twitter) 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.

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 said.
