Washington. The US is sending “a few thousand” additional troops to beef up security in Middle East Asia and to be ready to defend Israel if needed. The Pentagon gave this statement on Monday. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters that the increased troop presence would come through several fighter jet squadrons. This development comes after the recent attacks in Lebanon and the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Due to this, there is a possibility of war spreading on a large scale in West Asia.
This time there is a war in this area between Israel and Hezbollah. This includes squadrons of F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16, A-10 and F-22 fighter aircraft and their essential personnel. The jets were to replace the existing squadrons. Instead both existing and new squadrons would remain in place so that air power could be doubled. Singh said the jets are not there to assist in evacuation, “they are there to protect the US forces.”
