Israel has the right to defend itself against the serious threats it faces, the White House said.
The United States has reaffirmed its commitment to Israel’s security following an Israeli military strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut. This is what the representative of the US National Security Council, Adrienne Watson, said, the Times of Israel reports.
“Our commitment to Israel’s security is unwavering and unwavering, despite all the threats supported by Iran, including the Lebanese Hezbollah,” he said.
The White House said the rocket attack that killed 12 Israelis in Majdal Shams on July 27 was “horrific.”
“Israel has the right to defend itself from the serious threats it faces. At the same time, the United States continues to work toward a diplomatic solution to end these heinous attacks and allow citizens to both sides to return safely to their homes,” Watson said.
Unnamed Israeli and US officials said in comments that Israel had warned the US in advance about the Beirut attack.
Let’s recall that on the night of July 29, the IDF carried out an airstrike on the Lebanese capital Beirut, where, according to the Israeli army, the commander of the Hezbollah group responsible for killing children in the Golan Heights is located.
According to Israel, Hezbollah’s “supreme military commander” Fuad Shukr was killed during the strike.
