Large swaths of the National Security Agency, the agency in charge of collecting foreign signals intelligence for the Department of Defense, went from normal shifts to 24 hour watches earlier this month amid preparation for Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza, two sources told Breitbart News.
Pentagon officials say they are concerned about an escalation of attacks against U.S. troops after Israel begins its offensive. The Pentagon on Wednesday confirmed that 21 U.S. troops were injured in just two days of drone attacks at bases in Iraq and Syria between October 17 and 18. Although all members returned to duty, the Pentagon cautioned that some members might later report injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, so the numbers may change.
He also ordered the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery and additional Patriot battalions to the region, and finally, put an “additional number” of U.S. forces on prepare-to-deploy orders to ensure a “rapid response” if required. A senior military official said the forces are “largely Command and Control units” that would give leaders options for various missions for forces who are already stationed in the region.
