Schakowsky statement on discovery of Hezbollah tunnels along Israel's northern border

December 4, 2018

“Hezbollah’s attempt to infiltrate Israeli territory with tunnels is a concerning and sobering reminder than Israel’s security cannot be taken for granted. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) deserve praise for detecting these tunnels along the Israeli-Lebanese border and I support their efforts to destroy them. The escalating tensions building up in the region must be addressed seriously and diplomatically to prevent widespread bloodshed. I am praying for peace.”
