Title: Official: America Will Support Israel If Attacked by Hezbollah

According to Politico, American officials stated that "Hezbollah should not think that the United States can prevent Israel from attacking it." The officials indicated that "Washington will help Israel defend itself if Hezbollah carries out retaliatory strikes," emphasizing that "the risk of war between Hezbollah and Israel is very high."
