As of the linked article, 11 Americans have been confirmed dead as a result of the Hammas attacks in Israel. Officials are also entertaining the possibility that American citizens are among those who are being held hostage. Unlike past terrorist attacks in Israel, the current Hamas attacks bring an ISIS level of terrorism with it. One of the ideas being floated is to send US Special Forces, as well as an FBI rescue team, to Israel to assist with hostage rescue of American hostages.<\/p>\n

From the Washington Examiner:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Any rescue effort would require exquisite intelligence about the location and conditions under which the more than 150 civilian and military hostages are being held, along with close coordination with Israeli forces who may be launching rescue missions of their own. “There are continual conversations across the U.S. government with all of our Israeli counterparts about the situation of hostages that Hamas is holding in Gaza,” a senior defense official told reporters in an afternoon conference call.<\/p>\n

“We have hostage rescue teams in our special forces. They need to be shipped immediately, to get on those C-17s and C-5s, and fly to Israel to prepare to rescue these American citizens,” former national security adviser Robert O’Brien said on Fox. “We ought to have the FBI hostage rescue team also deployed to Israel.”<\/p>\n

“We don’t even know if, or how many, are being held hostage. But how we would go about doing that? Obviously, we wouldn’t detail too much publicly,” Kirby said on CNN. “I would tell you, broadly speaking, that we will do what we need to do to protect our national security interests there in the region.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Israel asked for more arms and ammunition; the U.S. already acted on sending them. The official that the Washington Examiner referenced said that the U.S. has the capability to support both Israel and Ukraine while also maintaining global U.S. military readiness.<\/p>\n

We are working as fast as possible to provide critically needed munitions of various types and other equipment. We’re also contacting U.S. industry to gain expedited shipment of pending Israeli orders for military equipment that otherwise may have been considered routine for movement,” the senior defense official said in yesterday’s briefing. “We’re also working across the DOD enterprise, including with U.S. Central Command, to assess what munitions and other equipment are in U.S. inventory that can be made quickly available for Israel.”<\/p>\n

“There’s already a new tranche of material going to Israel,” Kirby said on MSNBC. “It’s definitely on the way. And it does include interceptor missiles, some artillery ammunition, and other types of munitions that we know will be important for the Israeli Defense Forces.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
