Flights to and from Beirut airport were canceled or delayed on Monday as tensions escalated between Israel and the terrorist group Hezbollah after a strike in the Golan Heights killed 12 children and teenagers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a response from Israel to the rocket attack. Mr. Netanyahu’s office on July 27 quoted him as saying that “Israel will not overlook this murderous attack” and “Hezbollah will pay a heavy price.”
