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.

A ceasefire there could help bring about a rapid de-escalation of tensions in southern Lebanon.
