BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhuanet) -- US President says has the right to defend itself against weapons transfers to Hezbollah, although he did not comment on whether the airstrikes had in fact taken place.

Obama said, "I’ll let the Israeli government confirm or deny whatever strikes that they’ve taken. What I have said in the past and I continue to believe is that the Israelis justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah. And, you know, we coordinate closely with the Israelis recognizing that, you know, they are very close to , they’re very close to Lebanon. Hezbollah has repeatedly said that they would be willing to attack as far as Tel Aviv, and so the Israelis have to be vigilant and they have to be concerned. And, you know, we will continue to coordinate with Israel."
