U.S. supports Israel's right to defend itself after Lebanon attack

The United States stands with Israel and fully supports its right to defend itself after Hezbollah fired missiles into Israel from Lebanon, U.S. Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt said.

"Missiles fired from Lebanon into Israel. Iran has proxies in Lebanon and Gaza that harm Israel, undermine chances for peace & threaten a better future for Palestinians," he wrote on Twitter.

Greenblatt stressed the U.S. stands with Israel and fully supports its right to defend itself against all attacks.
