According to the latest news, the Pentagon announced that the United States will send "thousands" of troops to the Middle East to strengthen security and defend Israel when necessary. The additional troops will increase the total number of US troops in the region to 43,000. The additional personnel include F-15E, F-16 and F-22 fighters and A-10 attack aircraft squadrons and personnel required to provide support.

The background of the United States' massive troop increase is that tensions in the Middle East have suddenly escalated. In the early morning of October 1, local time, the Israeli Defense Forces announced that the wartime cabinet approved the next phase of military operations, and the Israeli army will carry out "limited, localized and targeted ground attacks" in southern Lebanon. On the same day, Hezbollah in Lebanon stated that its armed personnel used "appropriate weapons" to attack Israeli soldiers opposite the Lebanese border villages of Adissa and Kfar Kila. #中东局势
