NEWS: Schiff Statement on Iran Missile Attack on Israel

October 01, 2024

Today, Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released the following statement following the Iranian missile attack on Israel:

"Ever since October 7th, Hezbollah has been indiscriminately firing projectiles at Israeli citizens as a way of aiding and abetting Hamas. This was unsustainable.

"The elimination of Hassan Nasrallah and much of his top leadership - terrorists that have the blood of thousands of innocent people including Americans on their hands - provides some measure of justice for their victims and some measure of security against their continued operations.

"Iran has now launched missiles against Israel to retaliate for the decimation of the leadership of its terrorist proxy. The United States stands with Israel as it confronts yet another attack from a despotic regime bent on its destruction. Grateful to see the Administration act so promptly in Israel's defense."
