US to deploy additional troops, jets to Israel

Anadolu Agency, citing a report by Israeli news outlet Walla on Monday, reported that the new deployments will join approximately 3,000 US military personnel currently stationed in Israel over the coming weeks.

Unnamed security sources cited in the Walla report stated that US forces in Israel are currently engaged in operating air defense systems, serving as pilots and support personnel, managing logistics, and executing duties within military headquarters.

The upcoming troop and aircraft arrivals are part of ongoing military rotations across the Middle East, aimed at bolstering regional readiness.
