Palestine Tet – 26 – American military personnel all over the Middle East and in Gaza fighting “shoulder to shoulder” with IDF

A military buuild up of huge proportions is taking place in the Middle East as reported earlier in this series.

As a part of that article, I posted about the growing attacks on U.S. bases throughout the Middle East and reports of  a concomitant growing number of American military casualties beginning to pile up in American military hospitals. The Biden Administration is doing its darndest to play down these casualty numbers, the Vietnam Syndrome still haunting Washington a half century later.

Will the response to Washington’s financial and military support for Israel be the destruction of its bases in Iraq and Syria?

A Colorado man was among those who died in a recent helicopter accident in the Middle East.  As reported on local Denver tv, Sergeant Cade Wolf was one of five who U.S. military personnel who died in a crash of a Blackhawk helicopter in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Yesterday the figure of missile and other attacks on those bases was reported to have reached 52 since October 17. There are also U.S. Special Forces members who are being held as prisoners supposedly in Gaza (unless they have been spirited away somewhere else, which is possible).

Today let’s explore the role of U.S. special forces fighting alongside the Israeli Defense Force in their rape of Gaza in the name, of course, of “self defense”.  The following piece is another Google Translation (they are not too bad) of another article from Rai Al Youm, the Palestinian online news source, this written by Nader Al-Safadi:

American Forces in Gaza fighting “shoulder to shoulder” with the Israeli Defense Force

Gaza – Exclusive to “Rai Al Youm” – Nader Al-Safadi. (November 14, 2023)

One of the Palestinian eyewitnesses revealed a huge surprise when he revealed to an Arab satellite channel that he had seen “with his own eyes” American forces penetrating into Gaza City, standing side by side with the Israeli forces that began their massive ground invasion of the Strip nearly two weeks ago.

Although the American administration repeatedly denies the presence of any “official” American forces fighting in Gaza, many reports published in Arab and international newspapers confirm the presence of special American forces fighting the Palestinian resistance and that they have suffered very heavy human losses.

A Palestinian eyewitness who was displaced from northern Gaza said that an American force was deployed in their area.

The young man stated in an interview with Al Jazeera that he spoke with the force that was surrounding their homes, and its soldiers were wearing the American flag on their military uniforms.

In the middle of last month, the New York Times, quoting a US Department of Defense official, said that the United States had sent a team of special operations forces to the occupied territories.

The New York Times quoted the official as saying that the team sent to Israel will assist with intelligence related to the hostages, noting that Washington has deployed aircraft in the region as a precautionary measure before any potential missions.

American officials have previously stated that the US Army is preparing to deploy 2,000 soldiers to help Israel, according to what the Wall Street Journal reported.

Following Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood,” the Pentagon announced the arrival of the American “Delta Force” forces to the occupied territories. These forces are specialized in carrying out certain tasks, and they had previously carried out an operation to target and kill the leaders of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Secret mission

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that the United States has “people on the ground” who will assist the Israeli authorities with “intelligence and planning” for potential operations involving hostage rescue efforts, adding that “the Pentagon has a communications cell in Israel that works with Israeli special operations forces, as “The United States can quickly deploy other resources to the region.”

In a clear criticism of the statements, US Vice President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, said that Washington has no plans to send forces to Israel or the Gaza Strip, and she explained in an interview with the “60 Minutes” program that Washington “has no intention or plans to send forces to Israel or Gaza.” .

She stressed that “the United States provides Israel with advice, equipment, and diplomatic support” in its war on the Gaza Strip.

“Israel, without a doubt, has the right to defend itself,” she said. However, it is very important that there is no equality between Hamas and the Palestinians. The Palestinians have a right to security, self-determination and dignity, and we have been very clear that the rules of war must be adhered to and humanitarian aid provided to them.”

Earlier, the American newspaper Military Watch, which specializes in military affairs, revealed the killing of a number of American special forces who participated in the ground attack on Gaza, and that their bodies had torn to pieces.
