Issa Supports Israel After Bombing on the Syria-Lebanon Border

Statement

Today Representative Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, issued the following statement in response to Israel's launch of an airstrike inside of Syria against a convoy allegedly delivering weapons to Hezbollah militants inside of Lebanon:

"It is long overdue for the Israeli government to go after the source of the weapons stockpiles that have aided the terrorist group Hezbollah," Issa said. "The Syrian government continues to take provocative actions against its own people and neighbors, flying in the face of the will of the international community. The actions taken by the Israeli government to prevent Syria from transferring weaponry to Hezbollah were both measured and appropriate."

"As Syria teeters on the precipice of becoming a failed state, it is crucial that regional actors and the international community at-large not allow the conflict there to spill over into Lebanon or other neighboring states."
