The US has already been maintaining an increased military presence in the region amid Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Rescuers sift through the rubble at the scene of an Israeli strike that targeted Beirut's southern suburbs a day earlier, as search and rescue operations continue on September 21, 2024.The Pentagon has announced that it is sending additional U.S. troops to the Middle East “out of an abundance of caution” after Israel launched a series of attacks on Lebanon that have killed hundreds of people in a major escalation of its war.
However, neither Biden nor the Pentagon have offered solutions on de-escalation — and now Biden is not withdrawing help from Israel, but rather bolstering U.S. military presence and therefore providing support for Israel’s operation as it seemingly seeks to raze Lebanon, as it has Gaza. The bombing is an escalation of Israel’s fighting with Hezbollah, an armed Lebanese political group that took root during Israel’s 22-year occupation of southern Lebanon. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have been high as Israeli forces have carried out their genocidal siege of Gaza.
