The U.S. military is preparing for the potential deployment of approximately 2,000 troops to Israel amid the conflict with Hamas, The Wall Street Journal reports.
A predeployment order doesn't mean the troops will certainly deploy but rather shortens the time troops need to be ready to move.
Per NBC News: The Defense Department has also already deployed the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where it will join the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford in a show of support for Israel.
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.
In Israel, 1,400 people have been killed and 3,900 have been wounded.
In an interview, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. 'certainly' could afford wars in both Israel and Ukraine.
