Will attack on occupied Golan Heights push Israel, Hezbollah towards war?

Al Jazeera  

Israel has blamed Hezbollah for a rocket attack on Majdal Shams. Mojtaba Amani, Iran’s envoy to Lebanon, wrote in a post on X that Tehran “does not expect” an all-out war after the Majdal Shams incident, predominantly due to the “equations imposed” on Israel by Iran and its allies. The war on Gaza remains the root cause of the expanding conflict across the region, and members of the Iran-backed “axis of resistance”, including Hezbollah, have said they will stop attacking Israel if it stops killing Palestinians in the enclave and allows humanitarian aid in. The Majdal Shams incident took place in a Druze community, an Arab-speaking ethnoreligious minority whose members mostly reside in the occupied Golan Heights, Syria and Lebanon. Mouin Rabbani, a non-resident fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, told Al Jazeera the occupied Golan Heights are a “mountain range that allows Israel to threaten the rest of Syria”, including the capital Damascus.
