The U.S. is sending additional troops to the Middle East in response to escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah. The Pentagon confirmed an undisclosed number of personnel would join the 40,000 already stationed in the region, alongside warships and fighter jets. The State Department urged U.S. citizens to leave Lebanon as Israeli airstrikes intensified, killing over 100 people in a single day. President Biden emphasized efforts to deescalate the situation while Lebanon's prime minister condemned Israel for waging "a war of extermination." Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel continue to rise, sparking fears of a regional conflict.
