This is the best summary I could come up with:
About 2,000 U.S. troops have been put on prepare-to-deploy orders for possible support to Israel, according to a defense official.
If they were deployed, they would go to a nearby country to be prepared to support Israel in the war against Hamas, the official said.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where it will join the U.S.S.
The Israel Defense Forces have massed military personnel and equipment at the Gaza border, preparing to expand a retaliatory aerial attack with what it said would be “an integrated and coordinated attack from the air, sea and land.”
Hamas, which rules Gaza, carried out the worst terrorist attack in Israel in decades just over a week ago.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday was in Tel Aviv, where he was meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war Cabinet in the Defense Ministry for more than six hours.
