Lloyd Austin says he would recommend Israel strike military targets
Fox News
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declined to say whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been a reliable ally, even as he reaffirmed U.S. support for Israel’s defense.
"I won't comment on the prime minister," Austin said.
"We’re going to continue to support Israel in its right to defend itself. Protecting civilians in the battlespace and achieving military objectives are not mutually exclusive.
"I continuously emphasize the need to make sure that they're doing the right things, to prevent excessive casualties," said the secretary. "Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah have made this a tough fight… putting their military command post in ammunition stores, underneath hospitals and in schools and mosques."
