Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a limited number of U.S. troops to prepare for deployment in support of Israel, as reported by multiple sources.

Approximately 2,000 troops have been selected to be on standby for advisory and medical assistance.

The troops will be drawn from various branches of the U.S. military, including those already stationed in the Middle East and nearby Europe.

While their specific units and deployment locations have not been disclosed, it has been emphasized that they will not have a combat role.

The U.S. is extending support to Israel, which is engaged in a conflict with Hamas, primarily focusing on intelligence and planning assistance for potential hostage rescue operations.

    Give people a weeks notice that you’re going to turn the whole of Israel, Gaza and everything else in this little religious hot hole into a glass bowl nuclear style. Repatriate the people all over the earth equally. They’ve fought over these silly little “holy” spots for too long. Its time to take their toys off them and make them sit in a corner.
