New York, N.Y. -Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement condemning the Iranian ballistic missile attack against Israel.

"I have been briefed by senior U.S. and Israeli officials on Iran's attack against Israel and will continue to monitor developments in the region closely. I strongly condemn the Iranian attack, applaud the effective and ongoing U.S. military support and coordination to neutralize the attack, and remain concerned about the risk of further destabilization in the region instigated by Iran and its terror proxies. The United States will continue to stand by our ally Israel in support of Israel's right to defend itself. Iran and its proxies must be held accountable."
