Israel-Hezbollah conflict set to escalate: 'Leave Lebanon' to flights cancelled, situation so far

PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel's response to the deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams "will be severe." PM Netanyahu on Monday visited the site of a fatal Hezbollah rocket strike in the Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams that killed 12 children on July 27. Israel has blamed the Lebanese group Hezbollah for the rocket attack in Majdal Shams, a Syrian Druze town in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. While Hezbollah says it "firmly denies" it was behind the strike, it has raised fears once again that an all-out war would envelop the region. The United States and several European countries have reiterated calls for their citizens to leave Lebanon urgently. Israel's emergency security cabinet has authorized PM Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to decide on "the nature" and "timing" of the response against Hezbollah. Lebanon's caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said his country would not get involved in a war but would stand behind Hezbollah. Beirut's international airport has announced several cancellations of flights to the Lebanese capital after Israel vowed to retaliate.
