"U.S. Central Command is reportedly establishing a "civil-military coordination center" in Israel, staffed with hundreds of troops, to monitor the newly implemented ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials have said. U.S. outlets have reported that the military is slated to send 200 troops to Israel for the effort, with some having already been sent. The troops are there, officials said, primarily to provide "security" support and to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid in Gaza."
"As part of the ceasefire agreement, which Israeli officials said went into effect on Friday morning, Israel is supposed to allow hundreds of trucks of humanitarian aid into famine-stricken Gaza. It's unclear what type of U.S. military support is needed to facilitate that operation. As the area command responsible for the greater Middle East, CENTCOM is known for obfuscating the U.S. military's participation in atrocities."
