The White House declares that Hezbollah was responsible for yesterday’s deadly rocket attack in Majdal Shams, adding that it should be “universally condemned.”
“It was their rocket, and launched from an area they control,” National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson says in a statement.
“Our support for Israel’s security is ironclad and unwavering against all Iran-backed threats, including Hezbollah,” she notes, adding that the Iran-backed terror group “started firing at Israel on October 8, claiming solidarity with Hamas, another Iran-backed terror group.
“The United States is also working on a diplomatic solution along the Blue Line that will end all attacks once and for all, and allow citizens on both sides of the border to safely return to their homes,” Watson says.
