Islam Times - US Bolsters Military Presence in West Asia in Escalating Move

Islam Times - As Israel across West Asia intensified following Israel's unprecedented attacks on southern Lebanon, the United States has made an escalating move by deploying additional military personnel to the region. This decision comes amidst growing concerns over the escalating confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese resistance group.

Earlier on Monday, Israeli warplanes conducted extensive airstrikes against towns and villages across Lebanon. The raids have so far claimed the lives of at least 492 people, including 35 children and 58 women, and wounded 1,645 others.

Though the Pentagon refrained from providing specifics on the number of troops or their mission, Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder confirmed the deployment.

The conflict, once centered on Gaza, has shifted to the northern border of Israeli-occupied territories, where Hezbollah has fired rockets in solidarity with Hamas. This escalation is drawing new lines of conflict.

In yet another aggression, Israel launched an airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs, claiming to have targeted senior Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki, head of the southern front.
