Hezbollah has denied any responsibility for the attack on Majdal Shams which killed 12 children on SaturdayIs the Hezbollah-Israel conflict about to spiral? Hezbollah began trading fire with Israel on Oct 8, a day after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked communities in southern Israel and sparked the Gaza war. The Gaza war has drawn in Iran-backed militants across the region. Any move by Israel to expand the conflict would be met by "devastation, destruction and displacement" in Israel, Hezbollah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said in an interview with Al Jazeera in June. A ceasefire there could help bring about a rapid de-escalation of tensions in southern Lebanon.
