White House: Israel Says It Was Defending Itself, We Want 'Both Sides to Step Back', Good That Attacks Were 'Lighter'

On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "All In," White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby acknowledged that Israel says it acted over the last few days to pre-empt attacks from Hezbollah, but "The attacks today were lighter than they were yesterday. That's a welcome sign," "and we continue to urge both sides to step back here."
