According to a senior defense \u2062official, the DOD is sending air defense aid and \u2064munitions \u200cto Israel, although specific details \u2064about the weapons being dispatched have \u200bnot been disclosed.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting Israel&#8217;s Defense<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, with supporting Israel&#8217;s defense, we \u200care surging support to Israel that includes air defense and munitions,&#8221; the official\u2062 stated. &#8220;We remain in constant ongoing contact with our \u2063counterparts in Israel to determine and then\u2062 support their most urgent requirements. I am not going \u200cto get into specifics on \u200bthis call. \u200bBut the bottom line\u2064 is we are working as\u200c fast as possible to provide critically\u200d needed munitions of\u2064 various types and other equipment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The initial\u200c aid package is currently en route but\u2062 has not yet arrived, according to National Security Council coordinator\u2063 John Kirby.\u2062 In \u2062addition to this aid,\u2063 the DOD has reached out to U.S. defense contractors to expedite pending \u200dIsraeli\u200b military orders \u200dthat may have previously been \u2063considered routine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re also \u2062working across \u200bthe DOD\u200d enterprise, \u2063including \u2064with U.S. Central Command to assess what munitions and other equipment are in U.S. inventories that can be made quickly available \u2064for Israel,&#8221; the \u2063official continued. &#8220;All of these are\u200d actions we&#8217;re undertaking within our existing authority and appropriations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The DOD is also collaborating\u200d with Congress to\u200d ensure\u2064 that \u2063the necessary authority and appropriations are\u2062 in place to effectively \u200crespond to crises \u200dand contingencies.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengthening\u200c Presence to Deter Hostile Entities<\/h3>\n<p>Hamas and other Islamic militants \u2064caught Israel off guard with a multipronged attack on \u2062Saturday.\u2063 They mercilessly killed,\u2063 raped, and overran Israeli communities near the Gaza border, resulting\u200c in a \u2064death toll that has surpassed 700, with the number expected to rise. Most of the victims were innocent civilians.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these terror attacks, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the USS \u200dGerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean. The United States has also deployed additional Air\u200d Force\u200c fighter\u2064 aircraft squadrons, including F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10, to the region.<\/p>\n<p>This bolstered presence aims to deter \u2064other hostile entities from taking advantage of the \u200dchaos.
