Whereas, beginning on April 13, 2024, Iran for the first time

7 that killed over 1,200 people; months of cross-border 

attacks from Iran-backed Hezbollah into Israel from Lebanon; over 170 attacks on United States troops in the 

Middle East by Iran-backed militias since October; and 

months of Iran-backed Houthi missile and drone attacks 

on global shipping; 

Whereas 99 percent of the projectiles fired at Israel were 

intercepted by Israel, the United States, the United 

Kingdom, France, and Jordan, minimizing casualties and 

other damage from this unprecedented, brazen attack by 

Iran; 

Whereas Israel intercepted these missiles and drones using a 

variety of air defense systems and other defense articles, 

including many procured from or co-produced with the 

United States, demonstrating the vital importance of the 

United States and Israel’s security partnership; and 

Whereas Israel is a major non-NATO ally and Major Strategic Partner of the United States: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) condemns Iran’s unprecedented drone and 

3 missile attack on Israel; 

4 (2) reaffirms and supports Israel’s right to self5 defense; 

6 (3) stands with Israel as it defends itself 

7 against Iran’s attack and seeks to re-establish deter8 rence against Iran and its proxies; 

9 (4) fully supports Israel’s right to respond to 

10 this aggression through military, diplomatic, eco11 nomic, and other necessary means;
