00:00A rocket from Lebanon struck a soccer field on Saturday in the Israeli-controlled Golan

00:05Heights, killing at least 12 people, mostly teenagers and children, according to the Israeli

00:17months of hostilities and raised fears of an escalation in the conflict. Israeli officials

00:23accused Hezbollah, the politically powerful Lebanese armed group, of firing the rocket

00:29and vowed to respond. Hezbollah denied responsibility, although the group did say it had launched

00:35several barrages of missiles at northern Israel on Saturday.

00:39The Israeli Emergency Rescue Service, Megan David-Adam, said that in addition to the 12

00:45dead, about 20 people had been wounded, some of them seriously, in the Druze town of Madal

00:51Shams. The Israeli military said that the ages of those killed or wounded ranged from

00:5710 to 20 years old and that they had been playing soccer at the time of the attack.
