Iranian-backed terror groups are mounting attacks along Israel’s northern border.
On July 27, Israel thwarted an infiltration attempt by a Hezbollah terrorist cell trying to attack northern Israel.
Just a week later (August 3), Israel identified four Iranian-backed terrorists that crossed into Israeli territory and planted bombs along the Syrian-Israeli border.
In Lebanon, Iranian-backed Hezbollah poses a major threat...
Since 2006, when Hezbollah launched 4,000 rockets toward Israel during the 34-day war, the terror group’s weapons stockpile has grown to over 150,000 rockets and missile, many now capable of precisely targeting all of Israel.
Iranian proxies in Syria also pose a growing threat...
Over the last two and a half years, Iran has attempted to attack Israel from Syria on at least 10 occurrences, including once launching 32 rockets toward Israel, and an attempt by Iranian forces to launch explosive-laden “suicide drones” into Israel.
The United States must continue to support Israel’s right to self-defense and ensure it has the means necessary to defend itself by itself, including by maintaining our full commitment to security assistance to Israel.
Additionally, the U.S. must continue to push back against Iran and Hezbollah’s efforts to destabilize the region, including by increasing economic pressure to limit access to the resources to fuel their aggression.
