Israel blamed Hezbollah for the strike in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, but Hezbollah rushed to deny any role. But an all-out war with a militant group with far superior firepower to Hamas would be trying for Israel’s military after nearly 10 months of fighting in Gaza. The Israeli military said early Sunday that it struck targets deep inside Lebanon as well as in southern Lebanon. Israel’s military said its air force targeted a Hezbollah arms depot in the border village of Kfar Kila, adding that militants were inside at the time. Majdal Shams had not been among border communities ordered to evacuate as tensions rose, Israel’s military said, without saying why.
