“E“This attack was the work of Lebanese Hezbollah. It was their rocket, launched from an area they control. It should be universally condemned,” White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in an interview.
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson added that Israeli and Lebanese officials have been in continuous contact since Saturday’s “horrific” attack.
“Hezbollah began firing at Israel on October 8 under the pretext of solidarity with Hamas, another Iran-backed terrorist group,” he said.
In any case, the US “is also working towards a diplomatic solution across the Blue Line that will end all attacks once and for all and allow citizens on both sides of the border to return safely to their homes,” he said.
Twelve Israeli Druze civilians, most of them minors, were killed in Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights by what Israel says was an Iranian rocket fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon.
Hezbollah, however, denies any involvement and attributes the incident to an anti-aircraft missile intercepted by Israel.
