What do these muzzies expect to happen when they bomb Israel? That is like a no-brainer. (As in their brains gets splattered across their dirt floors)
US Will Help Defend Israel if Attacked, Pentagon Says as Hamas Chief Killed (msn.com)
The U.S. will defend Israel from incoming attacks, U.S. Defense Secretary
Lloyd Austin has said, as Israeli strikes kill two senior Iran-backed commanders and fears spike over wider conflict breaking out in the Middle East."If Israel is attacked, we certainly will help defend Israel," U.S. Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, told the media aboard the
USNS Millinocket during a visit to the Philippines. "You saw us do that in April; you can expect to see us do that again," he said.
The U.S., along with other Israeli allies like the U.K. and France, were involved in intercepting an unprecedented Iranian drone and missile barrage fired at Israel from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen in mid-April. "We helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles," U.S. President
Joe Biden said at the time. Washington has said it does not want to see escalation in the region, and the U.S. will "work hard to make sure that we're doing things to help take the temperature down, and address issues through diplomatic means," Austin said. But fears over escalation have been fueled by Israel saying late on Tuesday that it had carried out a "targeted strike" on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and killed a senior Hezbollah commander.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari described
Fuad Shukr as "the right-hand man" to Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iran-backed political party and militant group. Shukr was responsible for a deadly attack on a soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights at the weekend that killed 12 children and teenagers, Hagari said.
Hezbollah denied involvement in the attack. U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson blamed Lebanon-based Hezbollah, adding: "It was their rocket, and launched from an area they control. "Shukr has "the blood of Israelis and many others on his hands," Hagari said. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted similar remarks to social media. Hezbollah said that Shukr was in the building that was struck in Beirut on Tuesday but did not confirm his death. Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging fire across Israel's northern border into southern Lebanon for months. Hezbollah has pledged solidarity with Palestinian militant group
Hamas—designated a terrorist organization by the U.S.—which launched a lethal attack on Israel on October 7 that the Israelis said killed more than 1,200 people, many of which were civilians. More than 200 hostages were taken from Israel into the Gaza Strip, which has been controlled by Hamas for more than a decade. More than 100 are still thought to be in Gaza, a third of whom are presumed dead.
