Israel is preparing for a ground assault in Gaza following Hamas's attack on Saturday. Follow our live coverage.
The first plane carrying advanced U.S. weaponry landed at an airbase in southern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said, following a string of deadly Hamas attacks since Saturday. “The armaments are designed to facilitate significant military operations and increase preparedness for other scenarios,” the IDF said.
Israel is mobilizing 300,000 reservists ahead of a planned ground offensive to dislodge Hamas, a Palestinian militant group in Gaza. On Sunday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. was sending an aircraft-carrier strike group and several squadrons of jet fighters to a location near Israel. “Our common enemies know that the cooperation between our militaries is stronger than ever, and is a key part in ensuring regional security and stability,” the Israeli army said.
