The Pentagon on Monday sought to dispel what it mentioned have been false perceptions that Israel staged a part of its hostage rescue operations on the US army’s floating pier off Gaza, saying that was not true and no US personnel have been concerned.
Nonetheless, Pentagon spokesperson Main Basic Patrick Ryder acknowledged there have been Israeli helicopter operations ‘close to’ the pier, which was introduced by US President Joe Biden as a technique to convey desperately wanted humanitarian help to Palestinians.
“It was close to however I believe it is incidental. Once more, the pier, the tools, the personnel all supporting that humanitarian effort had nothing to do with the IDF rescue operation,” Ryder mentioned, referring to the Israel Protection Forces.
