posted by Hannity Staff - 10.16.23
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, a small selection of U.S. troops —approximately 2,000 —have been told to prepare for potential deployment to assist Israel in its war against Hamas.
The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services. They aren’t intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.
