"Israel" dropped a US-made bomb during its massive strike on Beirut's Southern Suburb on Friday and the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, a US senator revealed.

Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, indicated in an interview with NBC that one of the weapons used in Friday's aggression was a 2,000-pound Mark 84 bomb made and supplied by the United States.

“We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” he said, emphasizing that the Mark 84 was used to assassinate Sayyed Nasrallah.

It is noteworthy that the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) system converts standard unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions by adding a tail section with adjustable fins and a GPS guidance system.

US to protect interests amid rising Middle East tensions: Blinken

Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the US will take "every measure" to protect its interests in the Middle East if they are threatened.

His statement followed the Israeli aggression against on the Southern Suburb that led to the martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah.

Speaking at a news conference during the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, Blinken claimed that the US favors diplomacy over conflict.

The Secretary of State claimed "Israel has a legitimate objective that people can return to their homes," emphasizing that "going back to October 6 in terms of the border between Israel and Lebanon is not sufficient."

While the US claims to be making efforts to reach a ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon, figures suggest that these allegations are merely a smokescreen.

Most recently, the Israeli Security Ministry announced that it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the US, including upgrading air defense systems.
