WASHINGTON — The United States “strongly condemned” Hezbollah’s rocketing of Israeli territory on Wednesday with anti-tank munitions, killing two IDF soldiers and wounding seven others.

“The United States strongly condemns Hezbollah’s attack today on Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) near the border between Lebanon and Israel,” said Edgar Vasquez, a State Department spokesman, “in blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.”

“We don’t have information on what munitions were used by Hezbollah,” Vasquez added, when asked for comment on Hezbollah’s alleged use of sophisticated anti-tank, Russian-made Kornet rockets.

On Tuesday, the State Department warned against “escalation” on Israel’s northern border, after Syrian positions fired into the Golan Heights. The Israeli air force returned fire on Syrian Army positions overnight.

United Nations Resolution 1701 codified a ceasefire over the blue line between Israel and Lebanon after Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in 2006.

“We support Israel’s legitimate right to self defense,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday, urging both parties to “respect the blue line between Israel and Lebanon.”

“We also of course condemn the act of violence, and will be watching the situation closely,” Psaki said.

The Israeli military authorities have been on high alert the last 10 days following the attack on a convoy carrying Hezbollah and Iranian officials on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights earlier this month.

Hezbollah has vowed to avenge the attack, which it blames on Israel.

Following the anti-tank missile, mortar shells launched from Syria were fired at IDF positions on Har Dov and the Hermon Mountain.

The army evacuated dozens of people from the Hermon Mountain. A home in the Israeli border town of Kafr Rajar was damaged by a mortar shell.

The officer and soldier killed in the Hezbollah attack on the Lebanese border were named on Wednesday as Cap. Yohai Kalangel, 25 from Har Gilo, a company commander in the Tsavar Battalion and Sgt. Dor Haim Nini of the same battalion, a 20 year old from Shtulim who will be posthumously promoted to the rank of Staff-Sergeant.

  1. LOL – the subject of UN resolutions, let us count the hundreds of UN resolutions which israel has broken or ignored completely. What a farce. What goes around will come around and they have only began.

  2. What’s this ‘legitimate right to exist’? Did not Latvia, Lithuania, etc etc , also have a right to exist when they were subsumed into the Soviet Union?

  3. What about Syria’s right to defend itself? And Lebanon? For sine reason, only Jews are allowed to attack, kill, and steal. But when a goy retaliates, well, that’s just illegitimate. The world is sick of Israel.

  4. Wait ’till the next war breaks out; Israel will get her teeth kicked down her throat! Hezbollah fighters can’t wait to kill the little IDF punks! The IDF will become Hezbollah’s ‘lil bitches.

  5. The evil work of these parasitic devils has no bounds. Damn these evil hideous jewish parasites. Sickening! Death to the racist, rogue, parasitic, and murderous state of Israel. Death to the Jew World Order. Death to those who Murdered Jesus Christ. Long Live Syrians, Long Live Iranians, Long Live Iraquis. Long LIve Lebanese, Long Live Palestinians and Gazans, Long Live Gentiles. Long Live the Resistance to Jewish World Order.

  6. The Israeli occupation of Shebaa Farms is “in blatant violation of UN resolutions”. How about Israel’s “blatant violation of UN resolutions” concerning Golan, the West Bank, or Gaza?

    Psaki, Powers, Nuland, Kerry, CFR, yeah…..

  7. The statement by the spokesperson from the US State Department is one more example showing how effective the concocted “Judeo-Christian” concept is. It has made almost everyone in Washington (the Congress and government officials) deaf and blind: they only hear and see what their Zionist masters want them to hear and see. The founders of the USA must be turning in great pain in their graves!

  8. We have been brainwashed ever since TV was created. Hollywood movies are just as admired in the Middle East as they are sought after in Afghanistan. Now that we have awaken, unplug the propaganda machine, get rid of the boob tube, watch documentaries, lay off FAUX and ZNN.

  9. Is that photo of this Powers bitch real? Has it been retouched or does she look like that? Man that is one number I wouldn’t want in my harem. Another product made in zionville.

  10. … I meant to say it links Israel’s interests, America’s death-wish and the UN’s role (incl. within the US) in all this …

  11. I cannot believe to see US be so weak and desperate… Israel is the only country that can order US anything they want… There is no question that US has corrupt politicians, but now it is up to the American people to react & do something if not their country will fall apart….

  12. @ EDWARD: The dark circles under her eyes were added, and her cheeks were made to look more cadaverous. Other than that, she actually looks this way in real life.

    Samantha Power began as an ordinary journalist. In 2003 she was suddenly catapulted to fame when she published a book titled A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide. This book wowed Washington (and was even given a Pulitzer prize) because it outlined the “responsibility to protect” doctrine of the imperialist “war on terror.” That is, Ms. Power explained to politicians how they could steal and slaughter at will, simply by claiming they were doing it to “help” their victims.

    In 2008 Ms. Power married an ultra-militant Jew.

    In 2011 she advised Obama on what to say to the public in order to justify Obama’s total destruction of Libya.

    In August 2013, Obama rewarded Ms. Power by making her his ambassador to the UN.

    This bitch is as scummy as they come.

    BY THE WAY, the masses were being brainwashed before TV existed. In 1898, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst single-handedly whipped the USA into a war frenzy against Spain, which resulted in the USA taking Cuba and the Philippines. The use of newspapers and radio propaganda for World War One could fill books.

  13. Search in your computer “UN Resolutions concerning Israel”. You’ll see that this little entity who always portrait itself as the “VICTIM” has violated the UN resolutions at least 337 times since 1968 besides all the massacres it has done against the Palestinians long before its illegal creation in 1947.
