U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson confirmed that "the United States blames Hezbollah for the missile attack that resulted in the deaths of 12 children and youths in the Golan Heights," reiterating "America's support for Israel's security." In a statement, she noted that "this attack was carried out by Lebanese Hezbollah," adding that "a rocket belonging to them was launched from an area they control." She mentioned that "the White House has been in ongoing discussions with Israeli and Lebanese officials since the attack," and continued: "The United States is also working to find a diplomatic solution along the blue line that will put an end to all attacks once and for all and allow citizens on both sides of the border to return home safely."
