JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's defense minister told his U.S. counterpart on Monday that Iran-backed Hezbollah would be held responsible for a rocket strike that killed 12 children and teenagers in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant briefed U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Saturday's rocket attack, Gallant's office said.

"Minister Gallant noted that the attack on Saturday is a significant escalation, and that Iranian proxy Hezbollah will be held responsible," his office said.
