US Senate majority leader says Israel has right to defend itself against Hezbollah

The US senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said Israel has the right to defend itself against Hezbollah.

“Israel has every right to defend itself against Hezbollah like they do against Hamas,” Schumer told CBS News in an interview.

His statements came when asked about the deadly rocket strike that hit a football field in the village of Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights, and killed 12 children.
