Jul 31, 2024, 03:08 PM
The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, issued an official statement asserting that the United States will defend Israel if it is attacked. This declaration comes in the wake of the killings of senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr. The Pentagon's stance has raised concerns about the potential for an all-out war in the Middle East. The U.S. has pledged to protect Israel from any retaliatory attacks following the airstrikes on these top terror leaders. The Pentagon says the U.S. will help defend Israel, and the Hamas chief has been killed.
