United States is rapidly increasing support to Israel. This assistance includes the deployment of warships and aircraft to the region, with a second carrier strike group dispatched from Virginia.

Special operations forces are aiding Israel in planning and intelligence, with the initial shipment of munitions already delivered.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is set to meet with Israeli leaders to discuss further aid. The U.S. is primarily focused on deterring potential regional conflicts, with a particular emphasis on Hezbollah and Iran.

The U.S. is also sending Navy ships, including aircraft carriers, which provide various capabilities, and has ordered additional warplanes for Middle East bases.

        Either the Mossad’s competence is under a serious question, which we know is not the case, or the deliberate neglect of a billion-dollar prison fence, leading to multiple breaches by Hamas, and uninterpreted, suggests a premeditated action by the Israeli Mossad.

        At this juncture, it’s becoming increasingly plausible that there might be a strategy to cause further destruction in Gaza, followed by a calculated humanitarian agreement allowing Palestinians temporary access to enter Egypt from Rafah, ultimately resulting in the appropriation of Gaza’s land by Israel, as true to tradition.

        The extensive military support sent by the U.S. in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza appears highly unusual, given the frequency of such incidents in the past without a similar level of support.
