The White House said on Sunday it had not been warned in advance of the airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in a Beirut suburb and assumed it had caused civilian casualties, while reaffirming its “ironclad” support to Israel.
John Kirby, the national security spokesperson, said the US had not been informed of the airstrike, and that the president, Joe Biden, only found out about it once Israeli planes were already in the air.
Speaking to CNN, Kirby also said there was “no question” that civilians had been killed in the attack. “We certainly assume there have been civilian casualties. I don’t think we can quantify it right now but we are in touch with our Israeli counterparts,” Kirby said.
TVNL Comment: The US paid for the attack. Our weapons killed the target and the civilians around him. And Kirby can't 'quantify' how many innocent civilians died. How generous of him. His 'ironclad' support assure American complicity in all the deaths that are taking place evey single day.
