US not placing conditions on security assistance to Israel

The US military is not placing any conditions on its security assistance to Israel, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Thursday, adding Washington expected Israel's professional military to "do the right thing."

The United States has been rushing air defenses and munitions to Israel to help bolster its fight against Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in the wake of Hamas' devastating attacks on Israel over the weekend.

Austin, speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels, also said that the United States has also not seen any indications that Lebanon's Hezbollah was massing troops to potentially attack Israel, widening the conflict.
