Israel is vowing to retaliate after a rocket attack killed a dozen children in the Golan Heights. Israel blamed Hezbollah, but the group denied it was behind the attack. The dead were members of the minority Druze religious community. NBC News' Raf Sanchez reports.
The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had carried out an airstrike in a suburb of southern Beirut, targeting a commander they say was in charge of an attack on Israeli-controlled Golan Heights that killed 12 young people last week. 'The IDF targeted in Beirut the commander responsible for the murder of the children in Majdal Shams,' the IDF said in a statement Tuesday. NBC News has not independently verified the IDF's report.
' 'Local sources reported that the raid in the Haret Hreik area was carried out by a drone and 3 missiles were fired,' the report added. Saturday's strike on Majdal Shams killed at least 12, mostly children and teenagers belonging to the minority Druze community. Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
