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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
