The American shield around Israel: The tools and people deployed by the Pentagon in the region

The United States is increasing the presence of fighter jets at several bases in the region, in support of local allies, but also to contain the expansion of the Iranian military presence. Two thousand soldiers

An American shield around Israel, reinforced over the days in response to growing threats from the Iran-Hezbollah-Shiite militia axis.

The first element is represented by the aircraft carrier "Ford" sailing in the Eastern Mediterranean, somewhere southwest of Cyprus, trying to stay beyond the range of anti-ship missiles supplied to the Lebanese guerrillas.

At its side is a companion naval vehicle with anti-aircraft and missile capabilities, capable of long-range strikes.

Its more than 80 aircraft will be joined by the same number when the aircraft carrier Eisenhower arrives. Thus, there will be two "pillars" with great abilities.

In recent days, the Pentagon has increased the presence of fighter jets at several bases in the region: "F15 Eagles" were transferred to Muwaffaq Salti, in Jordan, followed by "A 10" for tactical support.

These planes could intervene if pro-Iranian factions try to attack the many US outposts in Syria, set up in support of local allies but also to curb the expansion of Iran's military presence.

Other warplanes have been redeployed to the Persian Gulf: the United States has the command of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and the availability of the "al Udeid" base in Qatar.

Other bases are in the pipeline in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. As long as the emirs don't get in the way, even though the direct involvement of the ayatollahs would alarm them.

There have been formal signs of tension in recent days, but underlying suspicions and old conflicts remain.

For some observers, the Hamas offensive sought to block the Riyadh-Jerusalem fusion. Washington then ordered the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit to move toward the shores of the Jewish state.

On board the Batan and other units, there are about 2 thousand marines, helicopters and vehicles. The task force was on "guard" in the Gulf of Oman and therefore needs several days to be fully operational.

Two thousand American soldiers are on standby and may also be based in Israel with various tasks: official sources talk about help in logistics, medical support and whatever the ally may need.

A repeat of the time when the United States, in 1991, made available the "Patriot" batteries to intercept the "Scuds" missiles launched by Saddam Hussein of Iraq.

Intensive support was provided with at least a dozen C 17 cargo planes shuttling between American and Israeli depots with cargoes of precision-guided munitions, missile system munitions, and components.

There are two terminals: Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv and Nevatim runway. In the international space between Turkey and Israel, reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare aircraft and radar aircraft are operational.

These tools sweep, as they say in military jargon, quadrant, capture and monitor.

They are the guardians of the sky, they can give the alarm for sudden movements. The activity parallels that of Israeli equipment: the air force has always had powerful and sophisticated equipment (the map by @ameliairhear reconstructs the "roads").

Meanwhile, the British joined the patrol with an air-sea component and the two Cypriot "hubs": at Akrotiri and the listening station in the Toodros Mountains.

US special forces and intelligence units entered the scene in the hours after the massacre, they were brought in urgently to help the Israeli intelligence services, Mossad, Shin Bet and Aman in tracking the militants, identifying potential threats and making the most of their antennas.

However, given the dramatic lesson of October 7, with wall technology overcome by Hamas thanks to old-fashioned tactics and low-cost weapons thanks to the army's inadequate equipment./ Corriere della Sera
