Dozens of missiles intercepted on Israel-Lebanon border, President Biden warns

US President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House on Friday that he expected Iran to attack Israel soon. CNN quoted Biden as saying that I do not want to go into protected information, but my hope is to do so as soon as possible. When asked what message he would like to give to Iran at this time. Biden said the US is dedicated to Israel’s defense, as evidenced by the US moving additional defense assets to the Middle East after the Lebanese group Hezbollah fired “dozens of Katyusha rockets” at Israeli artillery positions on Friday.

Biden said that we are dedicated to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel, we will help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed. The Iran-backed Lebanese group said the Hezbollah missile attack was in response to Israeli attacks in the south. The US has been on high alert for a significant Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel in recent days as fears of a wider regional war grow. The White House said Friday that there remains a real, credible and viable threat of Iran launching an attack, following Israel’s attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria last week that killed three Iranian generals.

The Israeli military said about 40 launches were identified from Lebanese territory, some of which were intercepted. It said, ‘There is no information about anyone being injured. He said that earlier they had intercepted two Hezbollah attack drones that had come from Lebanon. Lebanon and Israel have been technically at war since its creation and have been following a general ceasefire agreement since the 2006 Lebanon War.
