The United States Works with Israel in a 'Preventive Mode': Israeli Defense Forces Representative

Israeli Defense Forces representative Jonathan Conricus has acknowledged that the United States is working with Israel in a 'preventive mode' and has indicated that the country does not require direct assistance in its fight against Hamas. This was reported by the BBC.

"To clarify for all Americans listening, we are not asking for and do not want a single hair from American soldiers to be put at risk in the defense of Israel. We will defend ourselves," he stated.

Conricus also mentioned that the first batch of aid from the U.S. has already been delivered to Israel.
