Schumer Backs Israel's Right to Defend Against Hezbollah

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer supported Israel's right to defend itself against Hezbollah after a rocket attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teenagers. The attack, attributed to Hezbollah by Israel, was denied by the group, raising concerns of a regional conflict.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated on Sunday that Israel has the legitimate right to defend itself against Hezbollah, addressing a rocket attack on a football field in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights which resulted in the deaths of 12 children and teenagers.

Israel accused the Iran-backed group of orchestrating the attack. Despite Israel's allegations, Hezbollah has denied any involvement in the deadly strike, which has escalated fears about a potential broader regional conflict.

Speaking to CBS News, Schumer emphasized, 'Israel has every right to defend itself against Hezbollah like they do against Hamas.'
