Israel is preparing a “response” to Hezbollah after several attacks on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights killed at least 10 people, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a statement on Saturday. Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the attack.

Israel continues to accuse Hezbollah of responsibility for the attacks, although it denies this.

“This is one attack after another that has been going on in the north for more than nine months. Hezbollah is attacking our citizens in the north, firing thousands of rockets and missiles and drones into northern Israel, targeting families, homes and communities. The Israel Defense Forces are currently assessing the situation and we will prepare to respond against Hezbollah. We will complete our assessments and act,” Hagari said in a video message.

“Hezbollah will pay a heavy price. Hezbollah, like Hamas and the other Iranian proxies, attacks civilians and does so intentionally,” the senior official told ABC News.
