US State Department: Washington supports Israel's right to target legitimate Hezbollah sites in Lebanon

The U.S. State Department said Wednesday that Washington supports Israel's right to strike legitimate Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

The statement came in response to a question about Israel's recent airstrikes on Baalbek in eastern Lebanon.

However, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters in a briefing that Israel must conduct such actions in a way that does not endanger civilian lives, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding civilian infrastructure and significant cultural heritage sites.
