The Americans decided to send an additional contingent of troops to the mediate East. The Pentagon explains that the hazard of escalation of war is increasing.
Pentagon press secretary, Major General Pat Ryder reported on Monday that additional "small numbers" of soldiers were sent to the mediate East after a violent increase in force between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. The general did not uncover how many people would go and what they would do there.
The Voice of America portal, citing information from another high-ranking official, stated that military Americans would, among another things, prepare to evacuate U.S. citizens if a greater regional war broke out.
The situation is not yet at specified a phase as to make it essential to leave. Besides, there are so many Marines in the region who could carry out the mission.
Ryder explained to reporters that the Pentagon is simply a "planist organization" that is ready for a "wide scope of possibilities" if the US military were called for help.
He added that the US forces are now far better prepared for various possibilities than it was on April 14, erstwhile Iran conducted a drone and rocket attack on Israel.
Currently more than 50,000 American soldiers are deployed in the mediate East region. Even before the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, there were about 34,000 American soldiers in the mediate East. By the end of 2023, this number increased to 40,000, and a fewer weeks ago the Americans sent another 10,000 military. defence Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered 2 aircraft carriers and warships to stay in the region.
Overall, the full estimated number of U.S. military personnel stationed outside the U.S. borders – in different regions – now exceeds more than 225 000 people, of which 165,830 are active soldiers.
In the mediate East, the military protects Israel and Washington assets and over 19 military bases. The U.S. Navy is stationed along 3 sides of the Arabian Peninsula—with ships in the Oman Gulf, the Red Sea and the east Mediterranean—observing the actions of Iran and the militants supported by Tehran in Yemen, Gaza and Lebanon.
So far, Tel Aviv has been carrying out raids and attacks on about 1,600 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, where more than half a 1000 people have been killed and about 1,600 have been injured. Washington has instructed the Americans to leave Lebanon.
One Lebanese authoritative reported that the Israeli raids resulted in a evidence number of deaths in just 1 day since the 1975–1990 civilian War.
The Israeli military reported that on Monday they hit Hezbollah's targets in the south, east and north of Lebanon, including rocket launchers, command stations and militant infrastructure.
The Bureau of the interim Prime Minister of Lebanon Najib Mikati reported that he was going to fresh York City, where the UN General Assembly is held, “to proceed his contacts” following a strong wave of Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
There is simply a hazard of bringing Yemeni Huti and armed groups from Iraq into conflict.
The Hezbollah raids preceded a spectacular Israeli intelligence force operation involving exploding pagers utilized by 4,000 Hezbollah members to communicate.
