U.S. Urges Lebanon to Prevent Rocket Attacks on Israel

W460

The United States has urged Lebanon's government to prevent militants from firing rockets into Israel, as tensions between Israel and Hizbullah flared after the group fired rockets at the occupied Shebaa Farms in response to an Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon.

"We call upon the Lebanese government urgently to prevent such attacks and bring the area under its control," State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

"We strongly encourage all efforts to maintain calm."

The United States said it condemned "in the strongest terms" the volley of rockets fired by Hizbullah.

The United States is the leading international supporter of Israel and earlier said that Israel had a right to defend itself.

Do you honestly believe that if Hizballah had the ability to hit an Israeli skyscraper this would prevent an Israeli attack sending Lebanon back into the 10th Century.
