The US Defense Secretary promised to provide Israel with “everything necessary” for defense

The United States promised comprehensive assistance to Israel to repel attacks by Palestinian forces. This statement was made by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the words of the head of the American military department were published on the Pentagon website.

Austin said Washington remains committed to Israel's right to self-defense. The US Secretary of Defense expressed his condolences to the families of the fallen Israelis. He emphasized the readiness of the American military department to provide comprehensive assistance to Israel.



In the coming days, the Pentagon will work to ensure that Israel has everything it needs to defend itself and protect civilians.

- said the US Secretary of Defense.

As expected, the United States and European Union countries came out in support of Israel and condemned the actions of Hamas. The operation of the Palestinian forces was definitely supported by Iran and Syria. Saudi Arabia and Qatar spoke in favor of a ceasefire, but named Israel as the culprit of the events.

Let us remind you that this morning Israeli territory was attacked by detachments of the Palestinian Hamas movement. They managed to capture up to 14 settlements on the border with the Gaza Strip. At least 57 military personnel and settlers were captured.

In addition, Israeli cities were subjected to a massive rocket attack: according to some reports, Palestinian forces fired from 2,5 thousand to 5 thousand rockets into Israeli territory. Even the famous Iron Dome missile defense system could not cope with so many missiles, as a result of which missiles hit the power plant in Ashkelon, residential buildings and other objects.

        It’s strange that Israel needs someone’s help. After all, it has a powerful IDF and a powerful military-industrial complex. requestThe most powerful Army in the Middle East, and here on the very first day someone’s help is needed against a terrorist attack, which is surprising.

          Orange-Bigg (Alexander):
          according to information resources, more than 20% of the energy sector in the territory was hit by missiles (fires).
          What military industrial complex are we talking about?
          Another point is general mobilization. who will stand at the machines - refugees from the Russian Federation because of the Northern Military District?

        What we constantly talk about here is that the “iron dome” is a colander against home-made products; in case of serious quantities there is no protection from these flying gas cylinders! Let Israel think twice before bullying Iran, the response there will be much more serious. They are cunningly thinking of secretly supplying weapons to Ukraine, so let them slurp this joy with a strainer.

      The good news for us is that the thieves will get fewer weapons from the States and Europe. As it is, the Palestinians are impressive compared to their previous pathetic attempts to do something. Usually, the Israelis launched a large-scale special operation because of one private who was captured. And here they had a bunch of soldiers captured and a number of settlements lost. Of course they will fight back. The Palestinians' forces are negligible to resist Israel. There is no point in them attacking. But they apparently believe that a spark will ignite a flame and someday they will achieve their goal. But in fact, it looks like Iran is muddying the waters. At the same time, it uses Palestinians in its fight against Israel. An association arises with the States and Ukraine. They don’t fight themselves either, they only egg on the ukrov.

        It is quite possible that the thieves will get no less weapons, but more on the contrary. Now Israel, in response to US assistance, will also supply weapons to Ukraine. And they will quickly crush Palestine.

      it's a thought. Have the Palestinians decided to make a powerful attack, since for the first time (thanks to the enterprising kakils) they are saturated with anti-tank systems and man-portable air defense systems?

      Palestinians were allowed to enter Israel. The combination is just beginning. Probably the Palestinians themselves did not expect such success. I hope Iran is attentive to the actions of its Arab brothers wink

      It seems to me that now Abramovich will not be a goodwill ambassador (from the thinking head - Israel) of the American activists - on the Black Sea deal.
      Israel, and probably at the instigation of Saudi Arabia, is putting out the fire.
      Now the SA is more likely to enter the negotiation path between American assets in Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

      We are waiting for boilerplate statements from the CIA that they, of course, knew everything for a long time (well, how could it be otherwise) but, as usual, she didn’t tell anyone anything (because, as usual, everything is terribly secret). Well, the mattresses need to confirm their inflated importance, for the first time they wake up after the fact and tell the media about how great it is, everyone knows everything, everyone sees.)))

      and yes, for the Russian Federation next year will begin with problems.
      As far as I remember from the news feed, Israel was a large wholesale buyer of alcohol and alcohol-containing products.

      This means the budget will lack funds. hence a reduction in output.
      although maybe Italy will go out directly and purchase goods for its agricultural equipment.

      because The Russian one still doesn’t work on alcohol and vodka.
